What are the potential accessibility issues with using icons without alt attributes in PHP-generated content?

Not providing alt attributes for icons in PHP-generated content can create accessibility issues for users who rely on screen readers or have visual impairments. To solve this issue, it is important to include descriptive alt attributes for all icons to ensure that users can understand the purpose or meaning of the icon. 

// Incorrect way of displaying an icon without alt attribute
echo '<img src="icon.png" />';

// Correct way of displaying an icon with alt attribute
echo '<img src="icon.png" alt="Menu icon" />';
