In what situations is it advisable to avoid using PHP to generate frontend code?

It is advisable to avoid using PHP to generate frontend code when the frontend code needs to be highly interactive or dynamic, as PHP is a server-side language and cannot handle client-side events or interactions efficiently. In such cases, it is better to use JavaScript or other frontend technologies to ensure a smoother user experience. 

// Example of avoiding using PHP to generate frontend code
// Instead, use JavaScript to handle dynamic frontend interactions

    <script>
        function greetUser() {
            var name = document.getElementById('name').value;
            alert('Hello, ' + name + '!');
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <input type="text" id="name" placeholder="Enter your name">
    <button onclick="greetUser()">Greet</button>
