How can PHP developers ensure that only specific values are updated when using a "changeall" button in a form with array inputs?

When using a "changeall" button in a form with array inputs, PHP developers can ensure that only specific values are updated by checking for the presence of a hidden input field that indicates which values should be changed. By including this hidden input field in the form and checking its value before updating the array values, developers can restrict the updates to only the desired elements. 

<?php
// Check if the form is submitted
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Check if the hidden input field is present and has a specific value
    if (isset($_POST['changeall']) && $_POST['changeall'] == 'true') {
        // Update only the specific values in the array
        foreach ($_POST['array_input'] as $key => $value) {
            // Update the values as needed
            $_POST['array_input'][$key] = 'updated value';
        }
    }
}
?>
