What are the best practices for handling form actions in PHP scripts to avoid reloading scripts multiple times?
When handling form actions in PHP scripts, it is important to use conditional statements to check if the form has been submitted before executing any actions. This helps avoid reloading scripts multiple times and ensures that the script only runs when the form is submitted.
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
// Form has been submitted, process the form data here
// For example, you can access form fields using $_POST['field_name']
}
?>
