Please try the following approach:

1. Change the checkbox ‘name’ as ‘idlaporan[]’ (<input type=”checkbox” name=”idlaporan[]” )
2. After form submit, selected check box values will be present in the Server side array $_POST[‘idlaporan’]

3. Use a foreach loop to update values in database.

   foreach ($_POST['idlaporan'] as $idlaporan) {
   
       $sql=("UPDATE laporan set status='2' where idlaporan='$idlaporan'");    
       if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) {
          die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
       }
       echo "1 record added<br/>";    
   }
