Are there any specific PHP functions or methods that can help control when error messages are displayed on a form?

To control when error messages are displayed on a form, you can use PHP functions like isset() and empty() to check if the form has been submitted and if there are any errors before displaying error messages. You can also use conditional statements to determine when to display error messages based on specific conditions. 

<?php
// Check if form is submitted
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Check for errors
    $errors = array();
    
    // Validate form data
    if (empty($_POST["name"])) {
        $errors[] = "Name is required";
    }
    
    // Display error messages
    if (!empty($errors)) {
        foreach ($errors as $error) {
            echo $error . "<br>";
        }
    }
}
?>
