What is the difference between using a link and a button in PHP for redirecting users?

When redirecting users in PHP, using a link (<a> tag) will navigate users to a new page when clicked, while using a button (<button> tag) will require additional JavaScript code to handle the redirection. Buttons are typically used for form submissions or triggering actions, while links are commonly used for navigation. To redirect users using a button, you can use JavaScript's window.location.href property to navigate to a new URL. 

// Using a link to redirect users
echo &#039;&lt;a href=&quot;new_page.php&quot;&gt;Click here to go to the new page&lt;/a&gt;&#039;;

// Using a button with JavaScript for redirection
echo &#039;&lt;button onclick=&quot;window.location.href=\&#039;new_page.php\&#039;&quot;&gt;Click here to go to the new page&lt;/button&gt;&#039;;
