How can PHP be used to program layout without entering everything in the source code?

To program layout without entering everything in the source code, PHP can be used to dynamically generate HTML elements based on variables or conditions. This allows for more flexibility in managing the layout and content of a webpage without hardcoding everything in the source code. 

<?php
$showHeader = true;
$showFooter = true;

if($showHeader){
    echo "<header>This is the header</header>";
}

echo "<main>This is the main content</main>";

if($showFooter){
    echo "<footer>This is the footer</footer>";
}
?>
