How can PHP beginners effectively use comparison operators to check for values higher or lower than a specific number?

To check if a value is higher or lower than a specific number in PHP, beginners can use comparison operators such as greater than (>) and less than (<). These operators compare two values and return a boolean result (true or false) based on the comparison. By using these operators in conditional statements, beginners can effectively check if a value is higher or lower than a specific number.

$value = 10;

// Check if $value is higher than 5
if ($value > 5) {
    echo "Value is higher than 5";
}

// Check if $value is lower than 15
if ($value < 15) {
    echo "Value is lower than 15";
}
