capturing multiple checkboxes' names when submitting form

[ajetrumpet]

guys,

I have looked on google for this and apparently noone is doing it.  I have 4 checkboxes and I want to send mail indicating which boxes were checked.  the only code I've found is PHP that captures the *status* of the boxes, such as "on" or "off".  I want to capture the names of the actual checkbox elements.  Here is the code I'm currently testing (which just prints out "on" or "off" to indicate which boxes are checked):

if(isset($_POST['checkboxes'])) {
	foreach($_POST['checkboxes'] as $selected){
		echo $selected . "</br>";
	}
} else {
    echo "No Desired Contact Time Specified.";
}

if I check all 4 boxes for instance, I get this:

on
on
on
on

any way to get the names?  thanks!

I'm curious to know how that posted code outputs any settings with "off" (unchecked checkboxes aren't posted)
