Is it recommended to rely solely on PHP for processing user input from HTML checkboxes?

It is not recommended to rely solely on PHP for processing user input from HTML checkboxes as it can lead to security vulnerabilities such as unchecked checkboxes not being submitted. It is best practice to use both client-side validation with JavaScript and server-side validation with PHP to ensure all checkboxes are properly processed. 

// HTML form
<form method="post" action="process_form.php">
  <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="option1">
  <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="option2">
  <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="option3">
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

// process_form.php
<?php
if(isset($_POST['checkbox'])) {
  foreach($_POST['checkbox'] as $selected) {
    echo $selected."</br>";
  }
}
?>
