In what situations would using IDs versus classes in PHP-generated HTML elements be more beneficial?

Using IDs in PHP-generated HTML elements would be more beneficial when you need to uniquely identify a specific element for styling or JavaScript manipulation. Classes, on the other hand, are better suited for applying styles or functionality to multiple elements that share common characteristics.

<?php
// Using IDs in PHP-generated HTML elements
echo '<div id="uniqueElement">This is a unique element</div>';

// Using classes in PHP-generated HTML elements
echo '<div class="commonElement">This is a common element</div>';
echo '<div class="commonElement">This is another common element</div>';
?>
