What are the potential pitfalls of generating HTML content using PHP and not saving it as an actual file?

Generating HTML content using PHP without saving it as an actual file can lead to performance issues and increased server load, especially for high-traffic websites. To solve this problem, you can use output buffering in PHP to capture the generated HTML content and then output it to the browser all at once. 

<?php
ob_start(); // Start output buffering

// Generate HTML content here
echo "<html><head><title>Hello World</title></head><body><h1>Hello World!</h1></body></html>";

$output = ob_get_clean(); // Get the output buffer contents and clean it

echo $output; // Output the HTML content
?>
