How can PHP beginners effectively hide a form after successful submission and display a success message instead?

To hide a form after successful submission and display a success message instead, you can use PHP in combination with HTML and JavaScript. After the form is submitted and processed, you can set a flag to indicate success. Then, in the HTML output, you can conditionally display either the form or the success message based on the flag. 

<?php
// Check if the form is submitted
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Process the form submission
    // Set a flag for successful submission
    $success = true;
}

?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Form Submission</title>
</head>
<body>

<?php if(isset($success) && $success): ?>
    <p>Success message goes here...</p>
<?php else: ?>
    <form method="post" action="">
        <!-- Form fields go here -->
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
<?php endif; ?>

</body>
</html>
