How can event handling be optimized in PHP to avoid using inline onclick() functions for playing music files?

To optimize event handling in PHP and avoid using inline onclick() functions for playing music files, you can utilize JavaScript event listeners to trigger the audio playback. This separation of concerns helps keep your HTML clean and improves code maintainability.

<?php
// PHP code to handle playing music files
?>

<script>
document.getElementById('playButton').addEventListener('click', function() {
  var audio = new Audio('music.mp3');
  audio.play();
});
</script>

<button id="playButton">Play Music</button>
