What is the best practice for playing an audio file located in a different directory using PHP and HTML5 <audio> element?

When playing an audio file located in a different directory using PHP and the HTML5 <audio> element, it is important to provide the correct path to the audio file in the 'src' attribute of the <audio> element. You can use PHP to dynamically generate the correct path to the audio file based on its location. This can be achieved by using PHP's 'echo' function to output the path within the 'src' attribute of the <audio> element. 

&lt;?php
// Define the directory where the audio file is located
$audioDirectory = &#039;path/to/audio/files/&#039;;

// Define the filename of the audio file
$audioFile = &#039;example.mp3&#039;;

// Generate the full path to the audio file
$audioPath = $audioDirectory . $audioFile;
?&gt;

&lt;audio controls&gt;
  &lt;source src=&quot;&lt;?php echo $audioPath; ?&gt;&quot; type=&quot;audio/mpeg&quot;&gt;
  Your browser does not support the audio element.
&lt;/audio&gt;
