How can PHP be used to create a seamless user experience when expanding and collapsing articles?

To create a seamless user experience when expanding and collapsing articles using PHP, you can utilize AJAX to dynamically load the content without refreshing the page. This allows users to expand and collapse articles without any interruptions or delays.

<?php
// PHP code to handle AJAX request for expanding and collapsing articles

if(isset($_POST['article_id'])) {
    $article_id = $_POST['article_id'];
    
    // Code to fetch article content from database based on $article_id
    
    // Return the article content as JSON response
    echo json_encode($article_content);
}
?>
