   <input type="checkbox" name="Activity[]" value="value1"  /> value1 <br>
    <input type="checkbox" name="Activity[]" value="value2"  /> value2<br>
    <input type="checkbox" name="Activity[]" value="value3"  /> value3 <br>

    <input type="submit" id="sendMessage" name="sendMessage" value="Submit" />
</form>

My processmail.php

$message .= "<table border='1'>";
$message .= "<tr><td>Field of Activity    </td>.  <td>".$_POST['Activity']."</td></tr>";
$message .= "</table>";

Try this to figure it out.

<?php print_r($_POST); ?>

or even if you don't know if its a POST or a GET.

<?php print_r($_REQUEST); ?>

Anyways it's a array I guess you could use foreach()

foreach($_POST['Activity'] as $value) {
    echo "value is $value";
}

$message .= "<tr><td>Field of Activity    </td>.  <td>".$_POST['Activity']."</td></tr>";

TO

$message .= "<tr><td>Field of Activity    </td>.  <td>".implode(',',$_POST['Activity'])."</td></tr>";

use PHP implode function:

http://php.net/function.implode

Replace the line

$message .= "<tr><td>Field of Activity    </td>.  <td>".$_POST['Activity']."</td></tr>";

with

$message .= "<tr><td>Field of Activity    </td>.  <td>".implode(',', $_POST['Activity'])."</td></tr>";

Also - to prevent potentially malicious users injecting html into your page by editing the checkbox values before submitting, use htmlentities as well to escape the data before you re-render it onto the page

$message .= "<tr><td>Field of Activity    </td>.  <td>".implode(',', array_map('htmlentities', $_POST['Activity']))."</td></tr>";

The selections are in an array - one element for each option selected. You can use a foreach to loop over these elements and display them.

You need to loop through the values of the checkbox.

Right now, its getting an array instead of string.

Therefore, it printing as Array.

You can do it so by:

<?php
$ActivityStr = '';
if (isset($_POST['checkboxName']) && count($_POST['checkboxName']) > 0) {
    $i=0;
    foreach ($_POST['checkboxName'] as $cbox) {
        if ($i>0){
            $ActivityStr .= ',';
        }
        $ActivityStr .= $cbox;
        ++$i;
    }
}
$message .= ""; $message .= "Field of Activity ".$ActivityStr."";
$message .= "";
?>
