Listing only checked check boxes

Anon

Greetings,

I am trying to create a form for a car dealership. I have a section of the form that is a bunch of checkboxes for the options that a car must have for a request-a-quote form. I am not exactly sure how to go about this but i want it to list only the boxes that the viewer filled in. In other words, i don't want the client or the viewer to receive an e-mail with 30 empty options and only 2 chosen options. This is what it is starting to look like for the email to the viewer:

$msg1 .= "The vehicle you would like a quote on is:\n";
$msg1 .= "A $year $make $model $vehicle_style with $Transmission_Choice transmission. You would like it to come in $Color_Choice.\n";
$msg1 .= "You have also checked that the following options must be included on this vehicle $checked_options."

Can anyone give any advice? Sorry if this seems simplistic. I am still a newbie.

Regards,
Christy

if(isset($sunroof)) // Name of checkbox
{
$msg1 .= "- Sunroof\r\n";
}

Hi!

I understand what you are saying but how do i get:

if(isset($sunroof)) // Name of checkbox
{
$msg1 .= "- Sunroof\r\n";
}

to become $checked_options. ($msg1 .= "The vehicle you would like a quote on is:\n";
$msg1 .= "A $year $make $model $vehicle_style with $Transmission_Choice transmission. You would like it to come in $Color_Choice.\n";
$msg1 .= "You have also selected that the following options must be included on this vehicle: $checked_options.")

do you know what i mean? I understand i need an if-else statement. But it's getting all the options to go thru (what? an array?). I had envisioned it like this: All checked boxes are seperated by a comma, the last option checked does not have a comma. It would read "You have also selected that the following options must be included on this vehicle: Power Windows, Remote Keyless Entry, Leather Upholstery." If no boxes are checked then the sentence above would read like this "You have also selected that the following options must be included on this vehicle: no options were selected."

I am sorry if this is confusing ... or if i was unclear when i wrote the post earlier or if i am not making sense now. LOL
