PHP Contact Form multiple checkboxs sending email

Question

I'm fairly new to coding in PHP. Currently I am having a problem with my checkboxes and dropdown boxes submitting in my contact form. I am using Bootstrap to build the site. I've researched answers and I have not been able to find why my checkboxes won't show up in my email.

Below is my code:

Here is the PHP:

if($_POST) {

// Enter the email where you want to receive the message
$emailTo = '[email protected]';

$name = trim($_POST['name']);
$company = trim($_POST['company']);
$clientEmail = trim($_POST['email']);
$phone = trim($_POST['phone']);
$cylinderto = trim($_POST['cylinderto']);
$approxquantity = trim($_POST['approxquantity']);
$deliveryaddress = trim($_POST['deliveryaddress']);
$message = trim($_POST['message']);
$subject = "LPG For Business";

$errors_array = array('name' => '', 'company' => '', 'email' => '', 'phone' => '', 'cylinderto' => '', 'approxquantity' => '', 'deliveryaddress' => '', 'message' => '');

if($name == '') {
    $errors_array['name'] = 'Please enter your full name!';
}
if($company == '') {
    $errors_array['company'] = 'Please enter your company name!';
}
if(!isEmail($clientEmail)) {
    $errors_array['email'] = 'Insert a valid email address!';
}
if($phone == '') {
    $errors_array['phone'] = 'Please enter the phone no!';
}
if(($cylinderto == '') {
    $errors_array['cylinderto'] = 'Please select the CYLINDER TYPES TO ORDER!';
}
if($approxquantity == '') {
    $errors_array['approxquantity'] = 'Please enter quantity!';
}
if($deliveryaddress == '') {
    $errors_array['deliveryaddress'] = 'Please enter valid delivery address!';
}
if($message == '') {
    $errors_array['message'] = 'Please enter the message!';
}
if($message != '' && $name != '' && isEmail($clientEmail) && $subject != '') {
    // Send email
$headers = "From: " . $name . " <" . $clientEmail . ">" . "\r\n";
$body ="Full Name:\t\t" . $name. "\nCompany Name:\t\t" .$company. "\nEmail:\t\t" .$clientEmail. "\nPhone Number:\t" . $phone. "\CYLINDER TYPES TO ORDER:\t" . $cylinderto. "\nApproximate Quantity (weekly):\t" . $approxquantity. "\nDelivery Address:\t" . $deliveryaddress. "\nAdditional Comments:\t" . $message;
mail($emailTo, $subject , $body, $headers);

}
 echo json_encode($errors_array);

}

Here is the Contact Form:

If you are going to use multiple checkboxes with the same name they need to be set as an array - name="cylinderto[]". See getting multiple checkboxes names/id's with php.

You should probably make sure the variable is set before trying to insert it into the email since those fields doesn't have a "required" attribute.

Also, I'm not seeing any of the aforementioned "dropdown boxes" in your code anywhere.
