How can I get the values of a multiselect into an echo statement?

Question

I am trying to get the values of a multiselect to be listed into a php email form. The variable is name="variable[] "

I don't know how to go about it, so any advice would be awesome

  $message = "<html><head><title></title></head>
        <body>
            <p>Sentence".$_POST['somevarriable']."</p>
            <p>Another Sentence". [I want to put an array here]."</p>
        </body>
        </html>";

`[]` makes PHP create an array of those values, therefore you need to convert that array-of-values into a string for display. — Marc B, Jun 09 '16 at 20:07

Something like this? (Untested)

$message = "
    <html>
        <head><title></title></head>
        <body>
            <p>Sentence" .$_POST['somevarriable']. "</p>
            <p>Another Sentence "
    ;

    foreach ($_POST['variable'] as $selectedOption){
        $message .= $selectedOption . ' ';
    }

    $message .= "
            </p>
        </body>
    </html>
    ";
