What role does HTML and the IMG tag play in including images in PHP files?

To include images in PHP files, you can use the HTML <img> tag within the PHP code. The <img> tag is used to display an image on a webpage and can be included in PHP files to dynamically load images based on certain conditions or variables. By setting the src attribute of the <img> tag to the file path of the image, you can display images within your PHP files.

&lt;?php
$imagePath = &quot;path/to/image.jpg&quot;;
echo &quot;&lt;img src=&#039;$imagePath&#039; alt=&#039;Image&#039;&gt;&quot;;
?&gt;
