<label class="radio"><input type="checkbox" name="service" value="Graphic Design" />Graphic Design</label>
<label class="radio"><input type="checkbox" name="service" value="Brand Identity" />Brand Identity</label>
<label class="radio"><input type="checkbox" name="service" value="Online Marketing" />Online Marketing</label>
<label class="radio"><input type="checkbox" name="service" value="Other" />Other</label>

PHP: ($service)

<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$website = $_POST['website'];
$service = $_POST['service'];
$description = $_POST['description'];
$inspiration = $_POST['inspiration'];
$budget = $_POST['budget'];
$deadline = $_POST['deadline'];
$formcontent=" From: $name \n Email: $email \n Phone: $phone \n Website: $website \n\n service: $service \n budget: $budget \n deadline: $deadline \n\n description: $description \n\n inspiration: $inspiration ";
$recipient = "[e-mail]";
$subject = "Contact form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \r\n";
mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die("Error!");
echo "Thank You, your information has been received.";
?>

Answer 1

If you have multiple elements with the same name then you will only be able to read one of them unless you use the array syntax [] e.g. name=service[] then you will receive $_POST[‘service’] as an array containing all your services. You can use implode to convert it to a string.

$service = implode(' ', $_POST['service']);
