How can the form structure be improved to ensure proper data transfer and processing when working with checkboxes in PHP?

Issue: When working with checkboxes in PHP forms, it is important to ensure that the form structure is set up correctly to handle multiple checkboxes with the same name. This can be achieved by using array notation in the checkbox input name attribute and processing the form data using PHP's $_POST superglobal array. 

// Form structure with checkboxes using array notation in name attribute
<form method="post" action="process.php">
    <input type="checkbox" name="colors[]" value="red"> Red
    <input type="checkbox" name="colors[]" value="blue"> Blue
    <input type="checkbox" name="colors[]" value="green"> Green
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
```

```php
// Processing the form data in process.php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    if(isset($_POST['colors'])){
        $selectedColors = $_POST['colors'];
        foreach($selectedColors as $color){
            echo $color . "<br>";
        }
    }
}
