What is the role of JavaScript in dynamically changing form elements in PHP?

JavaScript can be used to dynamically change form elements in PHP by allowing for interactive and responsive user interfaces. For example, JavaScript can be used to show or hide form elements based on user input, validate input before submitting the form, or update form elements based on selections made by the user. By combining PHP for server-side processing with JavaScript for client-side interactivity, developers can create dynamic and user-friendly forms. 

<form>
  <select id="selectOption" onchange="updateForm()">
    <option value="1">Option 1</option>
    <option value="2">Option 2</option>
  </select>
  <div id="additionalInput" style="display:none">
    <input type="text" name="additionalInput">
  </div>
</form>

<script>
function updateForm() {
  var selectOption = document.getElementById("selectOption");
  var additionalInput = document.getElementById("additionalInput");

  if (selectOption.value == "2") {
    additionalInput.style.display = "block";
  } else {
    additionalInput.style.display = "none";
  }
}
</script>
