What are some common elements in a PHP contact form template?

Common elements in a PHP contact form template include input fields for name, email, subject, message, and a submit button. Additionally, there is usually validation to ensure that the required fields are filled out correctly before the form can be submitted. Finally, there is typically a PHP script that processes the form data and sends it to the designated email address. 

<form action="process_form.php" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" required>
    <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required>
    <input type="text" name="subject" placeholder="Subject" required>
    <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message" required></textarea>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $subject = $_POST['subject'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];
    
    // Process the form data (e.g. send an email)
}
?>
