Name the fields like service[] instead of service, then you'll be able to access it as array. After that, you can apply regular functions to arrays:

• Check if a certain value was selected:

   if (in_array("Other", $_POST['service'])) { /* Other was selected */}
  

• Get a single newline-separated string with all selected options:

   echo implode("\n", $_POST['service']);
  

• Loop through all selected checkboxes:

   foreach ($_POST['service'] as $service) {
       echo "You selected: $service 
  ";
   }
