PHP checkboxes

How do I send CHECKBOXES via email through the mail() function in PHP?

Example: You have 67 checkboxes, all with unique names, but only want
to send the ones that were checked.

Mailer: Verifies only 2 of those 67 were checked, so the email only
has 2 checkboxes checked.

Name them sequentially ie 1,2,3...67 and then use a loop to check if each
one exists. If it does, include it in the mail.

Why would you need to have a checkbox in the email anyway? Wouldn't an
indication that something was checked be better?

Using form elements in a html email doesn't seem neccessary, where you
could easily use plain text.

Like the other poster suggested though for what to include.

I assumed he meant checkbox values.

Only spammers send mail in html don't they? ;-)

That's exactly what I meant

If you have the option to check:

Cookie, Cake, Candy, Beef, Pasta, Sauce

And someone checked

Cookie

Cake

and Candy

then the Email would say:

THEY WANT: Cookie, Cake, Candy

But it wouldn't mention any of the others.
