What are common issues with dropdown menus on touchscreens in PHP web development?

Common issues with dropdown menus on touchscreens in PHP web development include the menu not expanding or opening properly when tapped, as touchscreens may not register the hover event needed to trigger the dropdown. To solve this issue, you can use JavaScript to detect touch events and toggle the dropdown menu accordingly. 

// PHP code snippet to implement touch-friendly dropdown menu

<script>
// Detect touch screen devices
if ('ontouchstart' in document.documentElement) {
    // Add touch event listeners to toggle dropdown menu
    document.querySelectorAll('.dropdown').forEach(item => {
        item.addEventListener('touchstart', function() {
            this.classList.toggle('active');
        });
    });
}
</script>
