How can checkboxes and radio buttons be effectively handled in PHP forms to ensure the correct values are retained during form submissions?

Checkboxes and radio buttons in HTML forms can be handled in PHP by checking if they are set in the form submission data and assigning the appropriate value accordingly. For checkboxes, you can use the isset() function to check if the checkbox was checked, and for radio buttons, you can compare the submitted value with the expected values to determine the selected option. 

// Handle checkboxes
$checkbox_value = isset($_POST['checkbox_name']) ? 1 : 0;

// Handle radio buttons
$radio_value = isset($_POST['radio_name']) && $_POST['radio_name'] == 'option_value' ? 'option_value' : 'default_value';
