What are some best practices for handling multiple checkbox selections in PHP forms?

When handling multiple checkbox selections in PHP forms, it is important to use arrays in the form field names to capture all selected values. This allows you to easily loop through the selected checkboxes and process them accordingly. Additionally, make sure to validate and sanitize the input data to prevent any security vulnerabilities. 

<form method="post" action="process_form.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" value="Submit">
</form>
```

```php
// process_form.php
if(isset($_POST['colors'])) {
    $selectedColors = $_POST['colors'];
    
    foreach($selectedColors as $color) {
        // Process each selected color
        echo $color . "<br>";
    }
}
