How can CSS classes be utilized instead of bgcolor for styling in PHP?

Instead of using the bgcolor attribute in HTML for styling, CSS classes can be utilized to separate the styling from the content. This allows for better organization and maintenance of styles across a website. To implement this in PHP, you can define CSS classes in a separate stylesheet and apply them to HTML elements using the class attribute.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
        .highlight {
            background-color: yellow;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <p class="highlight">This paragraph has a yellow background.</p>
</body>
</html>
