What is a common approach to loading PHP content into a specific <td> element on a webpage?

One common approach to loading PHP content into a specific <td> element on a webpage is to use AJAX to make a request to a PHP script that generates the content. The PHP script can fetch data from a database or perform any necessary processing before returning the result. The AJAX response can then be used to update the content of the <td> element dynamically without refreshing the entire page. 

// PHP script (load_content.php) that generates the content
&lt;?php
// Perform any necessary processing or fetch data from a database
$content = &quot;This is the content to be loaded into the &lt;td&gt; element.&quot;;

echo $content;
?&gt;

// JavaScript code to make an AJAX request and update the &lt;td&gt; element
&lt;script&gt;
// Make an AJAX request to load_content.php
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open(&#039;GET&#039;, &#039;load_content.php&#039;, true);
xhr.onload = function() {
  if (xhr.status &gt;= 200 &amp;&amp; xhr.status &lt; 300) {
    // Update the content of the &lt;td&gt; element with the response
    document.getElementById(&#039;tdElement&#039;).innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
  }
};
xhr.send();
&lt;/script&gt;

&lt;!-- HTML &lt;table&gt; with &lt;td&gt; element to be updated --&gt;
&lt;table&gt;
  &lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td id=&quot;tdElement&quot;&gt;Loading...&lt;/td&gt;
  &lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;
