How can a developer effectively leverage PHP's functionality to parse and display data from a URL on a webpage?

To parse and display data from a URL on a webpage using PHP, developers can use functions like file_get_contents() to retrieve the contents of the URL and then use parsing functions like json_decode() or simplexml_load_string() to extract and format the data for display on the webpage. 

$url = 'https://api.example.com/data';
$data = file_get_contents($url);
$parsed_data = json_decode($data);

foreach ($parsed_data as $item) {
    echo $item->name . '<br>';
    echo $item->description . '<br>';
    // Display other data fields as needed
}
