In PHP, what is the recommended approach for ensuring only the last selected element retains a specific style after user interaction?

To ensure only the last selected element retains a specific style after user interaction, you can use JavaScript to remove the style from the previously selected element before applying it to the new one. This can be achieved by adding an event listener to the elements and toggling a class that applies the desired style. 

<?php
echo '<script>
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() {
    let elements = document.querySelectorAll(".selectable-element");
    
    elements.forEach(element => {
        element.addEventListener("click", function() {
            elements.forEach(el => {
                el.classList.remove("selected");
            });
            
            this.classList.add("selected");
        });
    });
});
</script>';
?>
