How can PHP be used to prompt users to fill in required text fields before submitting a form?

To prompt users to fill in required text fields before submitting a form, you can use PHP to check if the required fields are empty when the form is submitted. If any required field is empty, you can display an error message to the user and prevent the form from being submitted until all required fields are filled. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $required_fields = ['field1', 'field2', 'field3']; // List of required fields

    $errors = [];
    foreach ($required_fields as $field) {
        if (empty($_POST[$field])) {
            $errors[] = "Please fill in $field";
        }
    }

    if (!empty($errors)) {
        foreach ($errors as $error) {
            echo "<p>$error</p>";
        }
    } else {
        // Process form data if all required fields are filled
    }
}
?>
