Are there alternative methods to using an i-frame for forms in PHP?

Using i-frames for forms in PHP can sometimes cause issues with styling and responsiveness. An alternative method is to use AJAX to submit form data asynchronously without the need for i-frames. This allows for a more seamless user experience and easier integration with the rest of the website. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Process form data here
    // For example, you can access form data using $_POST['input_name']
    
    // Return a response (e.g. success message or error message)
    echo "Form submitted successfully!";
    exit;
}
?>

                $.ajax({
                    type: 'POST',
                    url: 'your_php_file.php',
                    data: $(this).serialize(),
                    success: function(response){
