I need help with this if any can show me, that would be so great and helpful.
I am trying to get more then one value show up through a checkbox, with this information in PHP has been sent to an email. I can get anyone on the selected list work individually when applied
This is my PHP & HTML code, it all works fine, it’s just the program will only send one of the selected list, even if I select more then one.
$ch1, $ch2, $ch3, $ch4 ,$ch5
PHP
<?php
