How does the use of CSS affect the functionality of links in PHP code?

Using CSS can affect the functionality of links in PHP code by overriding default link styles, making them difficult to distinguish from regular text. To solve this issue, you can explicitly set the styles for links in your CSS to ensure they are easily recognizable to users.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
a {
    color: blue;
    text-decoration: underline;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<?php
echo "<a href='#'>This is a link</a>";
?>

</body>
</html>
