Get value of multiple checkbox & echo in email

Question

Getting trouble on adding multiple checkbox value within mail body due to my low knowledge in PHP.

I know that it possible to show/echo checkbox by array with foreach loop but i don't know to echo it within mail body. I want to echo it within $message.

HTML Code sample-

<input type="checkbox" name="color[]"  value="Value1"> Title1
<input type="checkbox" name="color[]"  value="Value2"> Title2
<input type="checkbox" name="color[]"  value="Value3"> Title3
<input type="checkbox" name="color[]"  value="Value4"> Title4
<input type="checkbox" name="color[]"  value="Value5"> Title5

PHP Code-

<?php

$to = "[email protected]";
$fromEmail = "[email protected]";
$fromName = "Arif Khan";
$subject = "Contact Email";
$message = "Hey, Someone Sent you a Contact Message through your Website.

    Details Below-      
    Name: $_POST[fname] $_POST[lname]
    Email Address: $_POST[email]
    Contact Number: $_POST[contact1] $_POST[contact2] $_POST[contact3]
    Zip Code: $_POST[zip]
    Best Time To Contact: $_POST[besttime]
    Payment Plan Options: $_POST[payment_plan]
    MUA: $_POST[mua]
    Shoot Concept:
    Shoot Concept(Other): $_POST[shootother]";

$headers = "From:" . $fromName . " " . $fromEmail;

$flgchk = mail ("$to", "$subject", "$message", "$headers"); 
if($flgchk){
echo "A email has been sent to: $to";
}
else{
echo "Error in Email sending";
}
?>

You can simply do,

$colors = isset($_POST['color']) ? implode(",",$_POST['color']) : '';

And now you can use this $colors (you will get all selected colors as comma separeted) in your email message body part.

$message = "Hey, Someone Sent you a Contact Message through your Website.

Details Below-      
Name: $_POST[fname] $_POST[lname]
Colors: $colors
Email Address: $_POST[email]
Contact Number: $_POST[contact1] $_POST[contact2] $_POST[contact3]
Zip Code: $_POST[zip]
Best Time To Contact: $_POST[besttime]
Payment Plan Options: $_POST[payment_plan]
MUA: $_POST[mua]
Shoot Concept:
Shoot Concept(Other): $_POST[shootother]";

Try this

if(isset($_POST['color'])) {
    $message.= implode(',', $_POST['color']);
}
