<form method='post' id='userform' action='thisform.php'> <tr> <td>Trouble Type</td> <td> <input type='checkbox' name='checkboxvar[]' value='Option One'>1<br> <input type='checkbox' name='checkboxvar[]' value='Option Two'>2<br> <input type='checkbox' name='checkboxvar[]' value='Option Three'>3 </td> </tr> </table> <input type='submit' class='buttons'> </form> <?php if (isset($_POST['checkboxvar'])) { print_r($_POST['checkboxvar']); } ?>
You pass the form name as an array and then you can access all checked boxes using the var itself which would then be an array.
To echo checked options into your email you would then do this:
echo implode(',', $_POST['checkboxvar']); // change the comma to whatever separator you want
Please keep in mind you should always sanitize your input as needed.
