Put [] (open and block square brackets) behind the field name so that
the values are placed into an array, then join them together using
implode().
Example:
<input type="checkbox" name="pets[]" value="dingo"> Dingo
<input type="checkbox" name="pets[]" value="donkey"> Donkey
<input type="checkbox" name="pets[]" value="bob dillon"> Bob Dillon
<input type="text" name="pets[]" value="" size="8">
.... and then ...
$pets = implode(', ', $_POST['pets']);
