How can the order of function execution in PHP affect the rendering of HTML elements on a webpage?

The order of function execution in PHP can affect the rendering of HTML elements on a webpage if functions that generate HTML content are called out of sequence. To ensure proper rendering, make sure that functions generating HTML content are called in the correct order, typically after any necessary data processing or calculations have been completed.

<?php
// Incorrect order of function execution
function generateHeader() {
    echo "<header>This is the header</header>";
}

function generateContent() {
    echo "<div>This is the content</div>";
}

// Correct order of function execution
function generateHeader() {
    echo "<header>This is the header</header>";
}

function generateContent() {
    echo "<div>This is the content</div>";
}

// Correct order of function execution
generateHeader();
generateContent();
?>
