Try

$int = $_POST['interests2'];

If you are trying to set multiple checkboxes you can do something like,

// Your html
<input type="checkbox" name="interests[]" value="This is i">
<input type="checkbox" name="interests[]" value="Another i value">

// php
$email = "Further Information In: \n";
foreach($_POST['interests'] as $i)
         $email .= $i . "\n";

The name element must match what you are looking for. In your input field the name is interests2 but you are looking for interests (missing "2").

Also, you may possibly need to look in $_GET instead of $_POST, depending on the form or the AJAX method you are using (you didn't post that portion of your code).

The name of your checkbox is interests2. You must get the value by that name like this:

$int = $_POST['interests2'];
