What are the potential pitfalls of relying on specific text values in PHP scripts for form submission validation?

Relying on specific text values in PHP scripts for form submission validation can lead to issues if the text values change or are entered incorrectly. To avoid this, it is recommended to use variables or constants to store the text values and compare them in the validation process. 

// Define constants for form submission validation
define('EXPECTED_USERNAME', 'myusername');
define('EXPECTED_PASSWORD', 'mypassword');

// Validate form submission
if ($_POST['username'] === EXPECTED_USERNAME && $_POST['password'] === EXPECTED_PASSWORD) {
    // Form submission is valid
    // Process the form data
} else {
    // Form submission is invalid
    // Handle error accordingly
}
