What potential issues can arise when submitting a form with checkboxes in PHP?

One potential issue when submitting a form with checkboxes in PHP is that unchecked checkboxes may not be included in the form data that is sent to the server. To solve this issue, you can use array notation for the checkbox input names in the form, ensuring that all checkboxes are included in the form data regardless of whether they are checked or not. 

// Form with checkboxes using array notation for input names
<form method="post" action="process_form.php">
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes[]" value="option1">
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes[]" value="option2">
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkboxes[]" value="option3">
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
```

In the PHP script that processes the form data, you can then access the checkbox values as an array:

```php
// process_form.php
if(isset($_POST['checkboxes'])) {
    $checkboxValues = $_POST['checkboxes'];
    
    foreach($checkboxValues as $value) {
        // Do something with each checkbox value
    }
}
