How can you ensure that all form fields are properly filled before saving data to the database in PHP?

To ensure that all form fields are properly filled before saving data to the database in PHP, you can validate each form field individually to check if it is empty or contains valid data. You can also use JavaScript to perform client-side validation before the form is submitted to the server. Additionally, you can display error messages to prompt the user to fill in any missing or incorrect fields. 

// Check if all form fields are filled before saving data to the database
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $errors = array();
    
    // Validate each form field
    if(empty($_POST['field1'])) {
        $errors[] = "Field 1 is required.";
    }
    
    if(empty($_POST['field2'])) {
        $errors[] = "Field 2 is required.";
    }
    
    // Check if there are any errors before saving data
    if(empty($errors)) {
        // Save data to the database
    } else {
        // Display error messages
        foreach($errors as $error) {
            echo $error . "<br>";
        }
    }
}
