I have a "Get a Quote" form on my website that has multiple checkboxes. I would like a list of the choices to appear in the email that I ultimately receive. Having tried a number of different code solutions I'm still not seeing the checkbox results in the sent emails. I'm sending the code and the html in hopes that forum users will be able to suggest where I'm going wrong. (I will admit that I'm a newbie - so please be gentle - I'm sending all of the code just in case)

**Here's the pertinent html **

<?php session_start(); ?> <!DOCTYPE html>

            <form id="quote-form" class="clearfix"       
               method="post" action="process_quote.php"> 

            <label for="services">What services are you interested in? (Check all that apply)</label>



                         <ul class="checkbox">   
                            <li>
