Handling Form Data
When you build a form in HTML and submit it to a PHP script, the data from each form field is sent to the server. PHP provides special variables called superglobals to access this data. The two most common are $_GET and $_POST.

Form fields are mapped to PHP variables in the superglobals using the name attribute of each input field. For example, if your form has <input type="text" name="username">, then after submission, you can access the value with $_POST["username"] or $_GET["username"], depending on the form's method.
To safely access form data, always check if the expected key exists in the superglobal array using isset() before using it. This prevents errors if a field is missing; also, use htmlspecialchars() when displaying form data to avoid unwanted HTML being rendered on your page.
