How can JavaScript be used to clear form input fields after submitting a PHP form with missing required fields?

When submitting a PHP form with missing required fields, JavaScript can be used to clear the input fields to allow the user to correct their mistakes easily. This can be achieved by adding an event listener to the form submission event, checking for any missing required fields, and then clearing the input fields if necessary. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Check for missing required fields
    if (empty($_POST["field1"]) || empty($_POST["field2"])) {
        // Output JavaScript to clear input fields
        echo '<script>document.getElementById("field1").value = ""; document.getElementById("field2").value = "";</script>';
    } else {
        // Process form submission
        // ...
    }
}
?>
