Are there any specific PHP functions or techniques that can simplify the process of passing values through a form?

When passing values through a form in PHP, you can simplify the process by using the $_POST superglobal array to retrieve form data submitted via the POST method. This allows you to easily access form field values by their input names. Additionally, you can use the isset() function to check if a form field has been submitted before trying to access its value. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $username = isset($_POST['username']) ? $_POST['username'] : '';
    $email = isset($_POST['email']) ? $_POST['email'] : '';
    
    // Process form data here
}
?>

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
    <input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username">
    <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email">
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
