How can the placement of the onchange event affect the functionality of JavaScript in PHP when changing HTML fields?

The placement of the onchange event can affect the functionality of JavaScript in PHP when changing HTML fields because it determines when the JavaScript code will be triggered. To ensure the JavaScript code is executed properly, the onchange event should be placed within the HTML element that needs to trigger the event.

        var input = document.getElementById("inputField").value;
        console.log("Input changed to: " + input);
