Can you provide an example of a situation where using empty() and isset() together in PHP would be beneficial?

When dealing with form submissions in PHP, it is common to check if a form field is both set and not empty before processing the data. This ensures that the field has been submitted and contains a value, preventing potential errors in the code. Using isset() alone may not be sufficient as it only checks if a variable is set, while using empty() alone may not catch cases where a variable is set but contains an empty value. 

// Check if the 'username' field is set and not empty before processing the data
if(isset($_POST['username']) && !empty($_POST['username'])) {
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    // Process the username data here
} else {
    echo "Username is required";
}
