What are the potential resource implications of passing all selected checkboxes when navigating between pages in PHP?

Passing all selected checkboxes when navigating between pages in PHP can potentially lead to increased resource usage, as all the checkbox values need to be stored and processed each time the page is loaded. To mitigate this issue, you can store the selected checkbox values in a session variable and only pass the necessary information between pages. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Check if checkboxes are selected and store their values in a session variable
if(isset($_POST['checkbox_name'])) {
    $_SESSION['selected_checkboxes'] = $_POST['checkbox_name'];
}

// Retrieve the selected checkboxes on the next page
$selected_checkboxes = isset($_SESSION['selected_checkboxes']) ? $_SESSION['selected_checkboxes'] : [];

// Use the $selected_checkboxes array as needed
