How can you ensure that PHP code only runs when a button is pressed?

To ensure that PHP code only runs when a button is pressed, you can use a conditional check to determine if the button has been clicked. This can be achieved by checking if a specific form parameter or variable is set when the button is clicked. By wrapping the PHP code within this conditional check, you can ensure that it only executes when the button is pressed. 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit_button'])) {
    // PHP code to run when the button is pressed
    echo "Button was pressed!";
}
?>

<form method="post">
    <button type="submit" name="submit_button">Press Me</button>
</form>
