In PHP, where should the script for form submission processing typically be placed - in the <head> or <body> section of the HTML document?

The script for form submission processing in PHP should typically be placed in the <body> section of the HTML document. This is because the PHP script needs to be executed when the form is submitted by the user, which happens within the <body> section. Placing the PHP script in the <head> section may not work as expected because the form submission event occurs in the body of the document. 

&lt;?php
if ($_SERVER[&quot;REQUEST_METHOD&quot;] == &quot;POST&quot;) {
    // Process the form data here
    $name = $_POST[&quot;name&quot;];
    $email = $_POST[&quot;email&quot;];
    
    // Perform any necessary validation or processing
    
    // Redirect the user to a thank you page or display a success message
    header(&quot;Location: thank_you.php&quot;);
    exit();
}
