How to create a checkbox for multiple choice on PHP - php

Question

I have an input field I changed it to a checkbox for multiple choices.
The worry here I can't add the checkbox, I mean that my user should click on Ctrl and select on the same time several choices. You can see it in this Image:
This following my code of the form:
$app->get('/Chart/{currency}/{year}/{zone}/{lru}....... , function(Request $request,...... $repsite, $lru, $contract, $forecast) use ($app) {
if ($app['security']->isGranted('ROLE_USER')) {
///start form
$user = $app['security']->getToken()->getUser();
$form = $app['form.factory']->createBuilder('form')->setMethod('GET')
.
.
.
.
->add('lru', 'choice', array(
'choices' => array(
'\'ATSU\'' => 'ATSU',
'\'APCC\'' => 'APCC',
.....
),
'required' => FALSE,
'empty_value' => 'ALL',
'empty_data' => NULL,
'multiple' => TRUE
//'expanded' => TRUE
))
I want do a classic checkbox like this on the right:
I did a research on forums I found that I should use multiple and expanded and to set them to TRUE. When I add expanded=TRUE list became very "ugly", I give you a screensheet:
Can you please tell me how can I change my code to do a checkbox for multiple choicelike in the picture above.
I hope that I find solution. Thank you.
