How does context switching to HTML affect the display of special characters in PHP?

When context switching to HTML in PHP, special characters like <, >, and & can cause display issues because they are reserved characters in HTML. To properly display these special characters, you need to use HTML entities such as &lt; for <, &gt; for >, and &amp; for &. This ensures that the special characters are displayed correctly in the HTML output. 

&lt;?php
$special_text = &quot;This is a &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt; statement &amp; more&quot;;
echo htmlentities($special_text);
?&gt;
