What are the potential pitfalls to avoid when working with PHP forms and checkbox selections?

One potential pitfall when working with PHP forms and checkbox selections is not properly handling unchecked checkboxes, as they may not be included in the form data when submitted. To avoid this issue, you can check if the checkbox value is set in the form data and assign a default value if it is not present. 

// Check if the checkbox is set in the form data, assign default value if not
$checkboxValue = isset($_POST['checkbox_name']) ? $_POST['checkbox_name'] : 'unchecked';

// Use the $checkboxValue variable in your code
