How can PHP be used to implement security measures such as temporary user bans and CSRF token protection in login forms?

To implement temporary user bans in PHP, you can store ban information in a database and check against it before allowing a user to log in. For CSRF token protection in login forms, you can generate a unique token for each form submission and validate it on the server side. 

// Check for temporary user bans
$ban_check = // Query database to check if user is banned
if ($ban_check) {
    // Redirect user to a ban page or display a message
    exit();
}

// Generate and validate CSRF token
session_start();
$token = md5(uniqid(rand(), true));
$_SESSION['csrf_token'] = $token;

// Include this token in the login form
<form action="login.php" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="csrf_token" value="<?php echo $token; ?>">
    // Other form fields
</form>

// Validate CSRF token on form submission
session_start();
if ($_POST['csrf_token'] !== $_SESSION['csrf_token']) {
    // Invalid CSRF token, handle accordingly
    exit();
}
