How can PHP be used to handle default values in form input fields that can be changed by the user?

When handling default values in form input fields that can be changed by the user, you can use PHP to check if the form has been submitted and if the input field has a value. If the input field is empty, you can set a default value. This way, the user can change the default value if they choose to do so. 

<?php
$default_value = "Default Value";

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $input_value = isset($_POST['input_field']) ? $_POST['input_field'] : $default_value;
} else {
    $input_value = $default_value;
}
?>

<form method="post">
    <input type="text" name="input_field" value="<?php echo $input_value; ?>">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
