What are the potential pitfalls of using header redirection in PHP for form validation and submission?

Using header redirection for form validation and submission in PHP can cause issues such as headers already sent errors, potential security vulnerabilities, and difficulty in maintaining code readability. To solve this, it is recommended to perform form validation and submission on the same page without relying on header redirection. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Perform form validation
    // If validation fails, display error messages
    // If validation passes, process form submission
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Form Validation and Submission</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
        <!-- Form fields -->
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
</body>
</html>
