that if checked the user get a copy of the data he sent and if not
check the mail is sent to me only please help me doing this because I
have tried how to figure it out but I couldnt and the problem is that

An HTML checkbox will be either posted when checked, or not when unchecked.

So, if it's name is 'copy_to_client', you could:

if(isset($_POST['copy_to_client'])){
//mail the sender
}

I'd advise against it though. It makes it far to easy to spam people if
they enter other adresses.

I agree with you that this could be used to spam people but what could
be the other solution of this thing I already have started looking for
a way to use the CAPTCHA security system with using a picture but I
really dont know how to use it how to insert it to be working with my
mail() form and I also think that the CAPTCHA is not effective with
the copy_to_client checkbox so please if anybody know how to solve
this problem for me I appreciate
