Checkboxes are an easy way to do it.
The value of a checkbox will only be sent if it's checked. If it's not
checked, then that variable isn't even created.
So the easiest way to do it is to use the email address as the value, and
name the checkboxes all the same name with an [] to make it an array.
<input type=checkbox value='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' name='emails[]'>
<input type=checkbox value='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' name='emails[]'>
Then, on the page that processes this form, you'll have an $emails[] array
that'll contain all of your email addresses to send to. So you just do this:
$email_string = implode(";",$emails);
mail($email_string,$subject,$message);
If you can't pass the email addreses, directly, then you'll have to pass an
ID that relates to the email addresses. Name your checkboxes as ID[] or
something similar, and then you'll have an array of IDs to send the email
to.
