What is the difference between using <input> and <textarea> for multi-line text input in PHP forms?

When creating a form in PHP for multi-line text input, the <textarea> element is typically used instead of <input> as it allows for a larger text area where users can input multiple lines of text. The <input> element, on the other hand, is more suitable for single-line text input. By using <textarea>, you can easily capture and process multi-line text input in PHP forms. 

&lt;form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;process_form.php&quot;&gt;
    &lt;textarea name=&quot;message&quot; rows=&quot;4&quot; cols=&quot;50&quot;&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
    &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
