How can conditional statements be structured to properly handle form actions in PHP?

To properly handle form actions in PHP, conditional statements can be structured to check if the form has been submitted. This can be done by checking if the form submission method is POST and if the form fields are set. If the form has been submitted, the desired actions can be performed, such as processing the form data or displaying error messages.

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST" && isset($_POST["submit"])) {
    // Form has been submitted, process the form data here
    $name = $_POST["name"];
    $email = $_POST["email"];
    
    // Perform actions with the form data
}
