What are common errors to watch out for in PHP code, especially when working with SVG files?

One common error to watch out for when working with SVG files in PHP is improper escaping of special characters. This can lead to syntax errors or unexpected behavior when rendering the SVG content. To avoid this issue, it's important to properly escape special characters using functions like htmlspecialchars() before outputting SVG content.

// Example of properly escaping special characters in SVG content
$svgContent = '<svg width="100" height="100"><text x="10" y="20">Hello, world!</text></svg>';
$escapedSvgContent = htmlspecialchars($svgContent);
echo $escapedSvgContent;
