How can PHP arrays be effectively utilized to store and manipulate data for calculating differences in values?

To calculate differences in values using PHP arrays, you can store the values in an array and then iterate through the array to calculate the differences between adjacent values. You can store these differences in a new array for further analysis or manipulation. 

// Sample array of values
$values = [10, 15, 20, 25, 30];

// Initialize an empty array to store the differences
$differences = [];

// Iterate through the values array to calculate the differences
for ($i = 0; $i < count($values) - 1; $i++) {
    $diff = $values[$i + 1] - $values[$i];
    $differences[] = $diff;
}

// Output the differences array
print_r($differences);
