What potential issues can arise when trying to display and manipulate multiple select box options in PHP?

One potential issue that can arise when trying to display and manipulate multiple select box options in PHP is not properly handling the selected values. To solve this, you can use the `selected` attribute in the HTML `<option>` tag to pre-select the options that were previously selected. 

&lt;select name=&quot;options[]&quot; multiple&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;option1&quot; &lt;?php if(in_array(&#039;option1&#039;, $_POST[&#039;options&#039;])) echo &#039;selected&#039;; ?&gt;&gt;Option 1&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;option2&quot; &lt;?php if(in_array(&#039;option2&#039;, $_POST[&#039;options&#039;])) echo &#039;selected&#039;; ?&gt;&gt;Option 2&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value=&quot;option3&quot; &lt;?php if(in_array(&#039;option3&#039;, $_POST[&#039;options&#039;])) echo &#039;selected&#039;; ?&gt;&gt;Option 3&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;
