Are there best practices for creating a star rating system in PHP that allows for half or quarter star selections?

To create a star rating system in PHP that allows for half or quarter star selections, you can use a combination of HTML, CSS, and PHP. One approach is to use radio buttons with half and quarter values assigned to them, and then use CSS to style the stars accordingly based on the selected value. In the PHP backend, you can calculate the average rating based on the selected values. 

<!-- HTML -->
<form action="submit_rating.php" method="post">
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="0.5"> ★
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="1"> ★
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="1.5"> ★
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="2"> ★
  <input type="radio" name="rating" value="2.5"> ★
</form>

<!-- CSS -->
<style>
input[type="radio"] {
  display: none;
}
input[type="radio"] + label {
  font-size: 30px;
  color: #ccc;
  cursor: pointer;
}
input[type="radio"]:checked + label {
  color: #f8d64e;
}
</style>

<?php
// submit_rating.php
$rating = $_POST['rating'];
// Calculate average rating or store in database
?>
