What is the difference between using PHP and HTML for displaying images on a server?

When displaying images on a server, using HTML alone requires specifying the image source directly in the HTML code. However, using PHP allows for dynamic image loading by retrieving the image file path from a database or a directory on the server. This can be useful for displaying images based on user input or conditions. 

<?php
$imagePath = "images/image.jpg";
echo "<img src='$imagePath' alt='Image'>";
?>
