How does HTML handle line breaks compared to PHP?

HTML handles line breaks with the <br> tag, which creates a line break in the content. PHP, on the other hand, uses the "\n" escape sequence to create a line break in strings. To handle line breaks in PHP, you can use the nl2br() function, which converts newlines in a string to HTML line breaks.

$text = "This is a line of text.\nThis is another line of text.";
echo nl2br($text);
