How to collect Checkbox Array values?

Posted by 3 April, 2009

Beginner PHP Programmer always searches for easy way to collect Checkbox data from forms.
Here in this post I have used 3-4 lines of easy code to collect data from multi checkboxes. Instead of using several table-fields you can store your comma separated data in on field of the table. This is easy and handy.

How can I get the data back out of the database and recheck the boxes for that it has stored. I need to do this to create an update form.
Thanks
