This is my code for checkboxes.

<p class="full_form"><label for="prop_category"><?php _e('We are into','wpestate');?></label>
        <input type="checkbox" id="architecture" size="80" name="service_name[]" value="architecture" >Architecture
        <input type="checkbox" id="builder_developer" size="80" name="service_name[]" value="builder_developer">Builders and Developeres
        <input type="checkbox" id="material_supplier" size="80" name="service_name[]" value="material_supplier">Material Supplier
        <input type="checkbox" id="contractor" size="80" name="service_name[]" value="contractor">Contractor
        <input type="checkbox" id="int_decorator" size="80" name="service_name[]" value="int_decorator">Interior Decorator
        <input type="checkbox" id="prop_finance" size="80" name="service_name[]" value="prop_finance">Property Finance
        <input type="checkbox" id="prop_legal_ad" size="80" name="service_name[]" value="prop_legal_ad">Property Legal Advisor
        <input type="checkbox" id="prop_valuer" size="80" name="service_name[]" value="prop_valuer">Property Valuer
        <input type="checkbox" id="vastu_consult" size="80" name="service_name[]" value="vastu_consult">Vaastu Consultant

How Do I save multiple checkboxes in wordpress postmeta table? Should I save them as array? How Do I access them after form submit? And how do I display selected checkbox value while editing??
