What is the difference between using <b> and <strong> tags for bold text in PHP?

Using the <b> tag in PHP will simply make the text bold, while using the <strong> tag will not only make the text bold but also give it semantic importance, indicating that the text is of strong importance. It is generally recommended to use the <strong> tag for bold text that is important for the content's meaning, as it helps with accessibility and SEO.

<?php
echo "<strong>This text is bold and important</strong>";
?>
