How can PHP sessions be used to store and retrieve user input data for form processing?

PHP sessions can be used to store user input data for form processing by storing the input data in session variables when the form is submitted. This data can then be retrieved from the session variables on subsequent pages to display or process the user input. 

<?php
session_start();

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];
    $_SESSION['email'] = $_POST['email'];
    // Store other form input data in session variables as needed
}

// Retrieve user input data from session variables
$username = isset($_SESSION['username']) ? $_SESSION['username'] : '';
$email = isset($_SESSION['email']) ? $_SESSION['email'] : '';
// Retrieve other form input data from session variables as needed
?>
