How can PHP handle jumping to a specific entry in a list without using anchor tags?

To handle jumping to a specific entry in a list without using anchor tags, you can use PHP to generate a JavaScript function that scrolls to the desired entry when a specific link is clicked. This way, you can achieve the same functionality as anchor tags but with more control and flexibility.

<?php
// PHP code to generate JavaScript function for scrolling to a specific entry in a list

echo '<script>';
echo 'function scrollToEntry(entryId) {';
echo 'var element = document.getElementById(entryId);';
echo 'element.scrollIntoView({ behavior: "smooth" });';
echo '}';
echo '</script>';
?>
