What is the best practice for passing checkbox values in PHP forms to ensure all selected values are captured?

When dealing with checkboxes in PHP forms, it is important to ensure that all selected values are captured and processed correctly. One common approach is to use an array to store the selected checkbox values and then iterate through this array to handle each value individually. This ensures that all selected checkboxes are accounted for and processed accordingly. 

// HTML form with checkboxes
<form method="post">
    <input type="checkbox" name="check_list[]" value="option1">
    <input type="checkbox" name="check_list[]" value="option2">
    <input type="checkbox" name="check_list[]" value="option3">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

// PHP code to capture selected checkbox values
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
    if(!empty($_POST['check_list'])){
        // Loop through the selected checkboxes
        foreach($_POST['check_list'] as $selected){
            echo $selected."<br>";
            // Process each selected checkbox value here
        }
    }
}
