What potential issues could arise from using inline JavaScript within a PHP script?

Using inline JavaScript within a PHP script can lead to code maintenance issues and can make the code harder to read and debug. To solve this, it's recommended to separate the JavaScript code into its own external file and include it in the HTML document using the <script> tag.

&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;Example Page&lt;/title&gt;
    &lt;script src=&quot;script.js&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
    &lt;?php
    // PHP code here
    ?&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
