How can PHP code be integrated into an HTML file for form processing?

To integrate PHP code into an HTML file for form processing, you can use PHP opening and closing tags within the HTML file. This allows you to write PHP code directly within the HTML file to handle form submissions, validate input, and process data.

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Process form data here
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    
    // Perform validation and processing
    // For example, sending an email or saving data to a database
}
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Form Processing</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]); ?>">
        Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
        Email: <input type="email" name="email"><br>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
</body>
</html>
