Ok apparently I am still doing something wrong as the variable does not get passed to the email array.
Here is what I did in the html code
<tr>
<td style="width: 124px" class="style15">Tape Recorder<?php if(isset($problems['tape'])) {?> <font color="red">*</font><?php } ?></td>
<td class="style9">
<input name="tape[]" type="checkbox" value="used before," <?php if(isset($_POST['tape'])) echo "checked"; ?>><span class="style15">
</span>
</td>
<td class="style9">
<input name="tape[]" type="checkbox" class="style15" value="helpful in past," <?php if(isset($_POST['tape'])) echo "checked"; ?>> <span class="style15">
</span>
<td class="style9">
<input name="tape[]" class="style15" type="checkbox" value="requesting from DACC" <?php if(isset($_POST['tape'])) echo "checked"; ?>><span class="style15">
</span>
<td class="style9">
<input name="tape[]" type="checkbox" value="NA" class="style15"<?php if(isset($_POST['tape'])) echo "checked"; ?>><span class="style15">
</span>
</tr>
then I went up to the PHP email information and I tried it with and without brackets in each spot.
<?php
$problems = array();
$showform = 0;

} elseif($efield == "tape[]" ) {
$body.= "<em>For Class Notes:</em><p><strong>". "Tape recorder: "."</strong> " . $_POST[$efield] .",<p>";
the form submits but then in the email this field just does not even show up.
