How can HTML code affect the display of PDF files in PHP scripts?

HTML code can affect the display of PDF files in PHP scripts by determining how the PDF file is embedded or linked within the webpage. To ensure proper display, you can use the <embed> or <iframe> HTML tags to display the PDF file directly within the webpage. Additionally, you can set the appropriate content type headers in the PHP script to ensure the browser interprets the file as a PDF.

&lt;?php
// Set the content type header
header(&#039;Content-Type: application/pdf&#039;);

// Output the PDF file
readfile(&#039;example.pdf&#039;);
