php < >

In PHP, the "<" and ">" characters are used for comparison operations.

The "<" symbol is used to check if a value is less than another value. For example:

$a = 5;
$b = 10;

if ($a < $b) {
    echo "a is less than b";
} else {
    echo "a is not less than b";
}

The ">" symbol is used to check if a value is greater than another value. For example:

$a = 5;
$b = 10;

if ($a > $b) {
    echo "a is greater than b";
} else {
    echo "a is not greater than b";
}

These comparison operators can be used in conditional statements like if-else statements or in loops to control the flow of the program based on certain conditions.
