In what situations is it recommended to use <textarea> instead of <input> for displaying and editing text content in PHP forms?

When the text content to be displayed and edited in a form is longer or multiline, it is recommended to use <textarea> instead of <input>. <textarea> allows users to input and edit larger amounts of text comfortably, making it ideal for fields like comments, descriptions, or messages. 

&lt;form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;process_form.php&quot;&gt;
    &lt;label for=&quot;message&quot;&gt;Message:&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;textarea id=&quot;message&quot; name=&quot;message&quot; rows=&quot;4&quot; cols=&quot;50&quot;&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;br&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
