Since it seems none of the answerers can get the total fix in one answer, I guess I have to.

Problems:

  1. The PHP is using ID instead of the NAME to access the request
  2. You use TWO checkboxes instead of the more logical ONE checkbox OR two RADIOs
  3. IDs need to be unique

Here is the PHP you need

$Almnus= $_REQUEST["LKGAlumnus"]; // watch the spelling, Get the NAME

Here is the solution with one checkbox

<input type="checkbox" name="LKGAlumnus" value="Yes" id="LKGAlumnusYes" />
<label for="LKGAlumnusYes">Alumnus?</label>

Here is the solution with two radios

Alumnus?<input type="radio" name="LKGAlumnus" value="Yes" id="LKGAlumnusYes"/>
<label for="LKGAlumnusYes">Yes</label>
<input type="radio" name="LKGAlumnus" value="No" id="LKGAlumnusNo" />
<label for="LKGAlumnusNo">No</label>

You have a typo causing a mismatch of names: LKGAlumnus and then LKGAlmnus. The first has two u's and the second has only one.

<input type="checkbox" name="LKGAlumnus" value="Yes" id="LKGAlmnus" >Yes &nbsp&nbsp
        <input type="checkbox" name="LKGAlumnus" value="No" id="LKGAlmnus" >No &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp

//...
$Almnus= $_REQUEST["LKGAlmnus"];

You should use radio buttons instead of check-boxes if you want to get either of the option:

HTML:

<input type="radio" name="LKGAlumnus" value="Yes" id="LKGAlmnusYes" >Yes</input>
<input type="radio" name="LKGAlumnus" value="No" id="LKGAlmnusNo" >No </input>

PHP:

$Almnus= $_POST["LKGAlumnus"];
