What best practices should PHP developers follow when implementing a "Read More" link in news articles with HTML content?

When implementing a "Read More" link in news articles with HTML content, PHP developers should ensure that the link directs users to the full article while displaying only a portion of the content initially. This can be achieved by truncating the HTML content and adding the "Read More" link at the end of the excerpt. 

<?php
$content = "<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>";

$excerpt = substr($content, 0, strpos($content, "</p>") + 4);
$remaining_content = substr($content, strpos($content, "</p>") + 4);

echo $excerpt;
echo "<a href='#'>Read More</a>";
