What are the limitations of using PHP to manipulate CSS properties like display:block?

When using PHP to manipulate CSS properties like display:block, one limitation is that PHP is a server-side language and cannot directly interact with client-side CSS. One way to work around this limitation is to use PHP to generate inline styles or class names that can then be applied to HTML elements. This allows for dynamic styling based on server-side logic. 

<?php
// PHP logic to determine whether to display block or not
$displayBlock = true;

// Generate CSS class based on PHP logic
$cssClass = $displayBlock ? 'display-block' : 'display-none';
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
        .display-block {
            display: block;
        }

        .display-none {
            display: none;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="<?php echo $cssClass; ?>">
        This div will be displayed or hidden based on PHP logic.
    </div>
</body>
</html>
