How can debugging tools be used to identify and resolve display differences between browsers in PHP applications?

When encountering display differences between browsers in PHP applications, debugging tools such as browser developer tools can be used to inspect the CSS styles being applied and the HTML structure being rendered. By identifying the specific elements causing the discrepancies, adjustments can be made to ensure consistent display across different browsers. Additionally, utilizing browser compatibility testing tools can help pinpoint any cross-browser compatibility issues. 

// Example code snippet for checking browser compatibility and making adjustments

<?php
$browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

if (strpos($browser, 'Firefox') !== false) {
    // Adjust styles for Firefox
    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="firefox-styles.css">';
} elseif (strpos($browser, 'Chrome') !== false) {
    // Adjust styles for Chrome
    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="chrome-styles.css">';
} else {
    // Default styles for other browsers
    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default-styles.css">';
}
?>
