How can the use of HTML versus PHP affect the functionality of links in a PHP script?

When using HTML for links in a PHP script, the links will not be dynamic and cannot interact with PHP variables or functions. To ensure that links work properly within a PHP script and can interact with PHP code, it is necessary to use PHP to generate the links dynamically.

<?php
// Define PHP variables
$variable1 = "value1";
$variable2 = "value2";

// Generate dynamic link using PHP
echo "<a href='somepage.php?var1=$variable1&var2=$variable2'>Link Text</a>";
?>
