How can PHP and HTML be effectively combined to create interactive elements like buttons?

To create interactive elements like buttons using PHP and HTML, you can use PHP to dynamically generate HTML code for the buttons. This can be done by embedding PHP code within the HTML document to generate the necessary button elements with desired attributes such as text, styles, and functionality.

<?php
// PHP code to generate a button element
function createButton($text, $url) {
    return '<a href="' . $url . '"><button>' . $text . '</button></a>';
}

// Example usage
echo createButton('Click me', 'https://example.com');
?>
