How to make PHP Contact form collect all selected checkboxes - php

Question

This started off as a pre-built contact form that came bundled in an HTML template. All of the textbox field work perfectly fine when submitting the from. However I need some help with a checkbox section I added myself. I've been trying to do some research but can't get the script to include all the selected checkboxes in the e-mail.
Here's my working html:
<form class="nobottommargin" id="template-contactform" name="template-contactform" action="include/sendemail.php" method="post">
<div class="form-process"></div>
<div class="col_half">
<label for="template-contactform-name">Name <small>*</small></label>
<input type="text" id="template-contactform-name" name="template-contactform-name" value="" class="sm-form-control required" />
</div>
<div class="col_half col_last">
<label for="template-contactform-email">Email <small>*</small></label>
<input type="email" id="template-contactform-email" name="template-contactform-email" value="" class="required email sm-form-control" />
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="col_half">
<label for="template-contactform-phone">Phone <small>*</small></label>
<input type="text" id="template-contactform-phone" name="template-contactform-phone" value="" class="sm-form-control required" />
</div>
<div class="col_half col_last">
<label for="template-contactform-budget">Budget</label>
<input type="text" id="template-contactform-budget" name="template-contactform-budget" value="" class="sm-form-control" />
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="col_full">
<label for="template-contactform-services[]">Services Required: </label>
<input name="template-contactform-services[]" type="checkbox" value="Web-Design" />Web Design
<input name="template-contactform-services[]" type="checkbox" value="E-Commerce" />E-Commerce
<input name="template-contactform-services[]" type="checkbox" value="User-Experience" />User Experience
<input name="template-contactform-services[]" type="checkbox" value="Branding" />Branding
<input name="template-contactform-services[]" type="checkbox" value="Mobile-Design" />Mobile Design
<input name="template-contactform-services[]" type="checkbox" value="Search-Marketing" />Search Marketing
</div>
<div class="col_full">
<label for="template-contactform-message">Deliverables & Goals <small>*</small></label>
<textarea class="required sm-form-control" id="template-contactform-message" name="template-contactform-message" rows="4" cols="30" placeholder="List the specific deliverables, services, and goals required..."></textarea>
</div>
<div class="col_full">
<label for="template-contactform-missing">Anything Missing?</label>
<textarea class="sm-form-control" id="template-contactform-missing" name="template-contactform-missing" rows="4" cols="30" placeholder="Is there anything else you think we should know?"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="col_full hidden">
<input type="text" id="template-contactform-botcheck" name="template-contactform-botcheck" value="" class="sm-form-control" />
</div>
<div class="col_full">
<!--<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script>
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="your-recaptcha-site-key"></div>-->
</div>
<div class="col_full">
<button class="button button-3d nomargin" type="submit" id="template-contactform-submit" name="template-contactform-submit" value="submit">Send Message</button>
</div>
</form>
and here's my php:

You have to give different name attributes to the <input type="checkbox" /> tag. Then you can check whether a checkbox is checked with the isset() function.
