What alternative method can be used to check if a checkbox has been set in PHP?

To check if a checkbox has been set in PHP, you can use the isset() function to determine if the checkbox value has been submitted in the form data. This function checks if a variable is set and is not NULL. If the checkbox is checked, its value will be submitted along with the form data, and isset() will return true.

if(isset($_POST['checkbox_name'])){
    // Checkbox is checked
    // Perform necessary actions here
} else {
    // Checkbox is not checked
    // Handle the case when the checkbox is not set
}
