What are common errors when handling checkbox values in PHP forms?

Common errors when handling checkbox values in PHP forms include not checking if the checkbox is checked before trying to access its value, not initializing the checkbox value in the form, and not using the correct syntax to access the checkbox value in the PHP code. To solve these issues, always check if the checkbox is checked using isset() or empty() functions, ensure the checkbox has a value attribute in the HTML form, and use $_POST['checkbox_name'] to access the checkbox value in PHP. 

// HTML form
<form method="post">
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_name" value="1"> Checkbox
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

// PHP code to handle checkbox value
if(isset($_POST['checkbox_name'])) {
    $checkbox_value = $_POST['checkbox_name'];
    // Handle checkbox value here
} else {
    // Checkbox not checked
}
