How can the use of <button> tags affect form submission in PHP?

Using <button> tags in forms can affect form submission in PHP because they do not automatically submit form data like <input type="submit"> does. To ensure proper form submission, you can use JavaScript to trigger form submission when a <button> is clicked. Alternatively, you can use <input type="submit"> instead of <button> to submit the form data.

&lt;form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;process_form.php&quot;&gt;
  &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;username&quot;&gt;
  &lt;input type=&quot;password&quot; name=&quot;password&quot;&gt;
  &lt;button type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot;&gt;Submit&lt;/button&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
