What are the limitations of using media="print" in PHP for styling print layouts?

Using media="print" in PHP for styling print layouts has limitations because it only applies to the print media type. This means that the styles specified within media="print" will only be used when the webpage is printed, and not when it is viewed on screen. To solve this issue, you can create a separate CSS file specifically for print styles and include it in your PHP file using the link tag. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Print Layout</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print-styles.css" media="print">
    <style>
        /* Screen styles */
        body {
            background-color: #f0f0f0;
            color: #333;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>This is a print layout example</h1>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</p>
</body>
</html>
