Is there a recommended template or structure for organizing PHP form handling and verification processes?

When handling form submissions in PHP, it is recommended to separate the form processing logic from the HTML markup for better organization and maintainability. One common approach is to create a separate PHP file to handle form submissions and verification. This file should check for form submission, validate input data, and process the form accordingly. By following a structured template for form handling, you can easily troubleshoot and maintain your code. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Validate form data
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    
    // Perform form validation
    if (empty($name) || empty($email)) {
        echo "Please fill in all required fields.";
    } else {
        // Process the form data
        // Insert data into database, send email, etc.
        echo "Form submitted successfully!";
    }
}
?>
