Are there any best practices for implementing real-time character counting in a text area using PHP?

One way to implement real-time character counting in a text area using PHP is to use JavaScript to handle the counting and update the count dynamically as the user types. You can achieve this by adding an event listener to the text area input and updating a counter element accordingly. 

<textarea id="text-area"></textarea>
<div id="char-count">0 characters</div>

<script>
document.getElementById('text-area').addEventListener('input', function() {
    var text = this.value;
    var count = text.length;
    document.getElementById('char-count').textContent = count + ' characters';
});
</script>
