How can PHP be used to handle dynamic content loading based on user input in a web application?

To handle dynamic content loading based on user input in a web application using PHP, you can use AJAX to send user input to a PHP script, which then retrieves the relevant data from a database or another data source and returns it to the client-side for display.

<?php
// Assuming the user input is sent via POST request
if(isset($_POST['user_input'])){
    // Connect to the database or data source
    // Retrieve data based on user input
    // Return the data in a format that can be easily displayed on the client-side
    echo json_encode($data);
}
?>
