What are the best practices for implementing AJAX in PHP to handle form submissions?

When implementing AJAX in PHP to handle form submissions, it is important to send the form data asynchronously to the server without reloading the page. This can be achieved by using JavaScript to make an AJAX request to a PHP script that processes the form data and returns a response. The PHP script should handle the form data securely and validate it before processing. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Process form data
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    
    // Perform validation and data processing here
    
    // Return a response
    $response = array('message' => 'Form submitted successfully');
    echo json_encode($response);
}
?>
