How can HTML validation errors be fixed in PHP code?

HTML validation errors in PHP code can be fixed by ensuring that the HTML output generated by the PHP code follows the correct syntax and structure. This can be achieved by properly escaping special characters, closing all HTML tags, and ensuring that attributes are enclosed in quotes.

<?php
// Example PHP code generating HTML output with validation errors
$variable = "<p>Hello, world!</p>";

// Fixing HTML validation errors by properly escaping special characters and enclosing attributes in quotes
echo htmlspecialchars($variable, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
?>
