What are the benefits of using PHP tags for enclosing PHP code?

Using PHP tags to enclose PHP code allows for the server to properly interpret and execute the PHP code within the file. This ensures that the PHP code is processed correctly and that the desired output is generated. Without enclosing PHP code within PHP tags, the server will treat the code as plain text and not execute any PHP functionalities.

<?php
// PHP code enclosed within PHP tags
echo "Hello, World!";
?>
