What is the purpose of using a PHP page for data redirection from an HTML form?

When submitting a form in HTML, the data needs to be processed and redirected to another page for further actions. Using a PHP page for data redirection allows for server-side processing of the form data before redirecting the user to a new page. This PHP script can handle data validation, database operations, or any other server-side tasks necessary before redirecting the user.

php 
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Process form data
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    
    // Perform any necessary operations with the data
    
    // Redirect to a new page
    header("Location: new_page.php");
    exit;
}
?>
