How can PHP variables be effectively passed between HTML and PHP scripts?

To pass PHP variables between HTML and PHP scripts, you can use a combination of PHP tags within your HTML code. By embedding PHP variables within HTML code using echo statements, you can display the PHP variable values on the webpage. Similarly, you can pass data from HTML forms to PHP scripts by using the $_POST or $_GET superglobals to access the form data in the PHP script.

<?php
// PHP script to set a variable
$name = "John";

// HTML code to display the variable
echo "<p>Hello, $name!</p>";

// HTML form to pass data to PHP script
echo "<form method='post' action='process.php'>
    <input type='text' name='username'>
    <input type='submit' value='Submit'>
</form>";
?>
