How can the use of var_export() and '<pre>' tags help in formatting and displaying arrays for better readability in PHP?

When displaying arrays in PHP, the var_export() function can be used to output the array in a readable format. However, the output may still appear jumbled and hard to read. By wrapping the var_export() output in '<pre>' tags, the array will be displayed in a preformatted text block, making it easier to read and understand the structure of the array.

$array = array('apple', 'banana', 'cherry');
echo '<pre>';
var_export($array);
echo '</pre>';
