What are the common mistakes that can prevent PHP scripts from executing on button click?

One common mistake that can prevent PHP scripts from executing on button click is not properly setting up the form action attribute to point to the PHP script. Make sure the form action attribute includes the correct path to the PHP script that should be executed when the button is clicked.

<form method="post" action="process_form.php">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
