<p>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />

PHP CODE --------------------------------
<?php


// Receiving variables
@$pfw_ip= $_SERVER;
@$test = addslashes($_POST);

// Validation
//Sending Email to form owner
$pfw_header = "From: $test\n"
. "Reply-To: $test\n";
$pfw_subject = "test form";
$pfw_email_to = "Email address";
$pfw_message = "Visitor's IP: $pfw_ip\n"
. "vehicle: $test\n";
@mail($pfw_email_to, $pfw_subject ,$pfw_message ,$pfw_header ) ;

header("Location: thankyou.html");

?>

make your checkboxes an array

<input type="checkbox" name="test[]" value="Taxi" id="test_4" />

once they're stored on array you can easily traverse using foreach()

foreach($_POST['test'] as $index => $val){
echo "test[".$index."]=".$val; // just testing the value
}
