*** EDIT ******
I HAVE GOT IT WORKING. Now I just help with one simple minor thing: How do I get the email to separate each checkbox selection with a Comma?
So instaed of:
Interested In: Hourly Sales Lead Generation B2B Sales
It should read:
Interested In: Hourly Sales Lead Generation, B2B Sales
Thanks, Nathan
I just signed up on this site hoping to get some help making my form to send the checkbox selections with the email.
I'm pretty much a noob with php stuff, but using a lynda.com I got my contact form at least working - now I just need to get the checkbox selections to send with the email.
Here is my form:
<form id="mainForm" method="post" name="contact" action="http://www.digicrest.com/sales/contactFormProcess.php">
<ul>
<li>Name<span>*</span> <br/>
<input class="form2" name="name" type="text" />
</li>
<li>Email Address<span>*</span> <br/>
<input class="form2" name="email" type="text" />
</li>
<li>Subject<span>*</span> <br/>
<input class="form2" name="subject" type="text" />
</li>
<li>Company<span>*</span> <br/>
<input class="form2" name="company" type="text" />
</li>
<li>Phone Number <br/>
<input class="form2" name="phone" type="text" />
</li>
<li id="checkboxes">
I'm Interested In:
<br />
<div><input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Pay For Performance Appointment Setting" class="checkbox" id="option1" /> Pay For Performance Appointment Setting
<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Hourly Sales Lead Generation" class="checkbox" id="option2" /> Hourly Sales Lead Generation
<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="B2B Sales" class="checkbox" id="option3" /> B2B Sales
<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="interested[]" value="Inbound Lead Generation" class="checkbox" id="option4" /> Inbound Lead Generation
</div>
</li>
<li><span class="clearLeft"></span></li>
<div class="clearLeft"></div>
<li>Comments / Details<span>*</span> <br/>
<textarea class="form2B" cols="20" rows="6" name="message"></textarea>
</li>
</ul>
<div id="formButtons2">
<input class="clear2" type="reset" value=""/>
<input class="submit" type="image" name="submit" src="images/send-big.jpg" alt="" />
</div>
</form>

Thanks for reading.

In your case, your checkboxes are stored on the $_POST['interested'] array. So you need to include the imploded form of them ($interestedField).
If you want the commas, simply implode by ", " instead of " ".
Assuming everything else is working:
/* Gathering Data Variables */
$nameField = $_POST['name'];
$emailField = $_POST['email'];
$subjectField = $_POST['subject'];
$messageField = $_POST['message'];
$choices = implode(", ", $_POST['interested']);
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name: $nameField <br>
Subject: $subjectField <br>
Email: $emailField <br>
Message: $messageField <br>
Choices: $choices
EOD;
Note that this will just give you the VALUES of the checkboxes (eg: 1, 2, 3, 4) and not the text (eg: "Pay For Performance Appointment Setting"). To get this, you'd need to have those texts somewhere in your PHP:
$labels = array("1"=>"Pay For Performance Appointment Setting",
"2"=>"Hourly Sales Lead Generation",
"3"=>"B2B Sales",
"4"=>"Inbound Lead Generation");
/* Gathering Data Variables */
$nameField = $_POST['name'];
$emailField = $_POST['email'];
$subjectField = $_POST['subject'];
$messageField = $_POST['message'];
$choices = array();
foreach($_POST['interested'] as $choice) {
$choices[] = $labels[$choice];
}
$choices = implode(", ", $choices);
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Name: $nameField <br>
Subject: $subjectField <br>
Email: $emailField <br>
Message: $messageField <br>
Choices: $choices
EOD;
Hope this helps.
EDIT: OK, you changed your post while I was answering so that the values of the checkboxes contained the text which makes the second part of my answer redundant. If you wanted to save the data into a database, the best way would be to have numeric values, and the description stored somewhere else.
