In the example above, the tokenHere function is called to generate and output a CSRF token as a hidden input field within an HTML form. The form is then displayed, and additional form fields can be included as needed. When the form is submitted, the CSRF token is included in the form data, which can be validated on the server-side to prevent CSRF attacks.

Note: The example assumes that there is a submit.php file that handles the form submission. Make sure to adjust the form action and other form elements according to your specific use case.
