Issue to save values in database with multiple checkboxs in CRUD

Hello I need a great help for my problem, I tried to insert multiple checkboxs for "$_POST active" in my CRUD and the values must be saved in the database but will be saved as "Array" everytime.
I used this code but where exactly I need to put it?

foreach($_POST['active'] as $act){//query? }

Here the PHP code

<?php
require_once "../lakota/config.php";

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {

    if (isset($_POST['faction'], $_POST['stations'], $_POST["active"], $_POST['pending'], $_POST['influence'], $_POST['id_fact'])) {
    
    if(isset($_POST["submit"])){
	$activearr=$_POST["active"];
	$newvalues=  implode(",", $activearr);
	include_once "../lakota/checkboxClass.php";
	$checkBoxClass=new checkboxClass();
	echo $checkBoxClass->addtoDatabase($newvalues);
}
    
        $sql = "INSERT INTO lakotabgs (faction, stations, active, pending, influence, id_fact) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?)";
        
        if ($stmt = $link->prepare($sql)) {
            $stmt->bind_param("ssssss", $_POST['faction'], $_POST['stations'], $_POST["active"], $_POST['pending'], $_POST['influence'], $_POST['id_fact']);
            
            if ($stmt->execute()) {
                header("location: ../lakota/index.php");
                exit();
            } else {
                echo "Error! Try again later.";
            }
            $stmt->close();
        }
    }

    $link->close();
}
?>

Your code is a bit confusing so I'm not sure I am following what you are trying to do. You convert $_POST["active"] to a comma separated string ($newvalues) but when you store it in the database you are binding an array ($_POST["active"]) to a column. You can't store an array per se as a column in MySQL. You should be binding $newvalues to a string column in your database.

That is a test code, I thought it worked but nothing.

This is one give me the "Array" in stored in database, what can I do for this code?

<?php
require_once "../lakota/config.php";

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {

    if (isset($_POST['faction'], $_POST['stations'], $_POST["active"], $_POST['pending'], $_POST['influence'], $_POST['id_fact'])) {
    
        $sql = "INSERT INTO lakotabgs (faction, stations, active, pending, influence, id_fact) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?)";
        
        if ($stmt = $link->prepare($sql)) {
            $stmt->bind_param("ssssss", $_POST['faction'], $_POST['stations'], $_POST["active"], $_POST['pending'], $_POST['influence'], $_POST['id_fact']);
            
            if ($stmt->execute()) {
                header("location: ../lakota/index.php");
                exit();
            } else {
                echo "Error! Try again later.";
            }
            $stmt->close();
        }
    }

    $link->close();
}
?>

Thank you for your help, I found a new way with javascript Jquery 1.5.2 and it works fine.

<script type="text/javascript">
	function updateTextArea() {     
   var allVals = [];
   $('.tagstates :checked').each(function(i) {
          
       allVals.push((i!=0?"\r\n":"")+ $(this).val());
   });
   $('#statesel').val(allVals).attr('rows',allVals.length) ;
    
   }
   $(function() {
      $('.tagstates input').click(updateTextArea);
      updateTextArea();
});
</script>
                        <textarea name="active" id="statesel"></textarea>
						<div class="tagstates">
						<label><input type="checkbox" value="2D Animation">2D Animation</label>
