What role does HTML code play in controlling the behavior of form submissions in PHP, especially in relation to browser reloading?

HTML code plays a crucial role in controlling the behavior of form submissions in PHP by specifying the form action and method attributes. By setting the form action to the PHP file handling the form submission and using the POST method, we can ensure that the form data is sent securely. Additionally, using JavaScript or PHP header function, we can redirect the user to a different page after form submission to prevent browser reloading. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Process form data here

    // Redirect to a different page to prevent browser reloading
    header("Location: success.php");
    exit();
}
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Form Submission</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form action="process_form.php" method="post">
        <!-- Form fields go here -->
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
</body>
</html>
