Getting checkbox values to appear in email with php - php

Question

Hello I'm having trouble getting my checkbox values to show in my email.
I have looked around and tired many different solutions none seem to work.
I created this application for my web site. Please help me solve this issue.
The form does send an email. information does show up just not for the checkboxes.
This is the html code for the form.

As I said the the form does submit. The check box values don't appear.
Thank you for in advance for any help offered.

Answer 1

Try to add 'value' attribute to the each checkbox input. I noticed that you forgot to do it for "Days Available for work" checkboxes.
