How can PHP form processing be utilized to automatically update a database with ratings and fairness points without manual intervention?

Issue: To automatically update a database with ratings and fairness points without manual intervention, we can utilize PHP form processing to capture user input and then use SQL queries to update the database accordingly. 

<?php
// Assuming form data is submitted via POST method
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Connect to the database
    $conn = new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "database");

    // Check connection
    if ($conn->connect_error) {
        die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
    }

    // Retrieve form data
    $rating = $_POST['rating'];
    $fairness_points = $_POST['fairness_points'];

    // Update database with user input
    $sql = "UPDATE table_name SET rating = $rating, fairness_points = $fairness_points WHERE id = 1";

    if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
        echo "Record updated successfully";
    } else {
        echo "Error updating record: " . $conn->error;
    }

    // Close database connection
    $conn->close();
}
?>
