How can beginners improve their PHP skills to handle text manipulation tasks more effectively?

Beginners can improve their PHP skills for text manipulation tasks by practicing with functions like `strlen()`, `substr()`, `str_replace()`, and `explode()`. They can also learn about regular expressions (`preg_match()`, `preg_replace()`) for more advanced text manipulation tasks. Additionally, working on small projects or challenges that involve manipulating text can help them gain hands-on experience and improve their skills. 

// Example code snippet for text manipulation in PHP
$text = "Hello, World!";
$length = strlen($text);
$substring = substr($text, 0, 5);
$newText = str_replace("Hello", "Hi", $text);
$words = explode(", ", $text);

echo "Length of text: " . $length . "\n";
echo "Substring: " . $substring . "\n";
echo "New text: " . $newText . "\n";
echo "Words: ";
print_r($words);
