When working with SVG files in PHP, what are some common pitfalls to watch out for when manipulating attributes and elements?

One common pitfall when working with SVG files in PHP is not properly escaping special characters when manipulating attributes and elements. This can lead to syntax errors or unexpected behavior in the SVG file. To avoid this issue, always use functions like htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities() to escape special characters before inserting them into the SVG file. 

// Example code snippet demonstrating how to properly escape special characters when manipulating SVG attributes
$svg = '<svg width="100" height="100"><circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" fill="red" /></svg>';

$escapedSvg = htmlspecialchars($svg);

echo $escapedSvg;
