php Email help with checkbox array.

I cant figure this out… Need help.

I am creating a form that emails the results. The issue i am having is with the array that captures the check boxes.

I can echo the results but when i try to email them i only get a value of “array”

Here is a snip of the form im having an issue with.

[code]

                                    </table>[/code]

send_form_email.php

[php]<?php
$afeatures = $_POST[‘features’];
if(empty($afeatures))
{
echo(“You didn’t select any features.”);
}
else
{
$N = count($afeatures);

echo("You selected $N features(s): ");
for($i=0; $i < $N; $i++)
{
  echo($afeatures[$i] . " ");
}

}

if(isset($_POST[‘email’])) {

// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
$email_to = "[email protected]";
$email_subject = "Online Quote";
$features = ($afeatures[$i] . " ");
 
function died($error) {
    // your error code can go here
    echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
    echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
    echo $error."<br /><br />";
    echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
    die();
}
 
// validation expected data exists

// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
