How can PHP developers ensure cross-client compatibility when generating email content?

PHP developers can ensure cross-client compatibility when generating email content by using inline CSS styles, avoiding complex layouts, and testing their emails on various email clients. This helps ensure that the email displays correctly regardless of the client used to view it.

// Example PHP code snippet for generating email content with inline CSS styles

$emailContent = "
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
  body {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    background-color: #f9f9f9;
    padding: 20px;
  }
  h1 {
    color: #333333;
  }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to our newsletter!</h1>
<p>This is a sample email content with inline CSS styles.</p>
</body>
</html>
";

// Send email with $emailContent as the HTML content
