How can one ensure a smooth transition from using Microsoft Expression Web to another web development tool like PHP?

To ensure a smooth transition from using Microsoft Expression Web to PHP, one should familiarize themselves with PHP syntax and functionality. Additionally, they should practice converting their existing HTML and CSS files to PHP format, and gradually incorporate PHP code for dynamic content and functionality. Utilizing resources such as online tutorials, forums, and documentation can also aid in the transition process.

<?php
// Example PHP code snippet for converting a static HTML page to a dynamic PHP page
include('header.php'); // Include header file
?>

<div class="content">
    <?php
    // PHP code for dynamic content
    $name = "John Doe";
    echo "<h1>Welcome, $name!</h1>";
    ?>
</div>

<?php
include('footer.php'); // Include footer file
?>
