How can PHP be used to display specific content based on the status of a contact form submission?

To display specific content based on the status of a contact form submission, you can use PHP to check if the form has been submitted and display different messages accordingly. This can be achieved by setting a variable to track the form submission status and using conditional statements to determine which content to display.

<?php
// Check if the form has been submitted
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Process the form submission
    // For example, validate the form data and send an email

    // Set a variable to track the submission status
    $submission_status = true;

    // Display a success message if the submission was successful
    if ($submission_status) {
        echo "Thank you for your submission!";
    } else {
        echo "There was an error processing your submission.";
    }
} else {
    // Display the contact form
    echo "<form method='post' action=''>";
    echo "<input type='text' name='name' placeholder='Name'>";
    echo "<input type='email' name='email' placeholder='Email'>";
    echo "<textarea name='message' placeholder='Message'></textarea>";
    echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit'>";
    echo "</form>";
}
?>
