How can PHP variables be properly configured to control the checked status of checkboxes based on database values?

To control the checked status of checkboxes based on database values in PHP, you can retrieve the values from the database and compare them to the checkbox values. If the values match, you can add the 'checked' attribute to the checkbox input. This way, the checkboxes will be automatically checked based on the database values. 

// Assume $dbValue is the value retrieved from the database
// Assume $checkboxValue is the value of the checkbox

if ($dbValue == $checkboxValue) {
    echo '<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxName" value="checkboxValue" checked>';
} else {
    echo '<input type="checkbox" name="checkboxName" value="checkboxValue">';
}
