To show them checked on the Front End

Let’s say that you have the result of the product’s options in array called $checked

while looping the checked to print them use this

<input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="<?php echo $row['value']?>" <?php if(in_array($row['value'], $checked)){ echo 'checked="checked"'; }?>/>

For the update there is a lot of ways the simplest one is to

Remove all the options and then add the new checked one

Hope this will help
