How can the input type "number" in HTML forms be utilized to pass decimal numbers with precision to PHP?

When using the input type "number" in HTML forms, the issue arises when passing decimal numbers with precision to PHP because the default behavior of the number input type is to round off decimal numbers. To solve this issue, you can utilize the step attribute in the number input field to specify the precision of the decimal number. By setting the step attribute to a small decimal value (e.g., 0.01 for two decimal places), you can ensure that the decimal number is passed with precision to PHP. 

<?php
$decimalNumber = $_POST['decimal_number'];
echo "Decimal Number: " . $decimalNumber;
?>
```

```html
<form method="post">
  <label for="decimal_number">Enter Decimal Number:</label>
  <input type="number" step="0.01" id="decimal_number" name="decimal_number">
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
