First things is this is only for advanced developers persons Who all are now beginner to php dont use this function if you are using the huge project in core php use this function

function displayAllRecords($serverName, $userName, $password, $databaseName,$sqlQuery='')
{
    $databaseConnectionQuery =  mysqli_connect($serverName, $userName, $password, $databaseName);
    if($databaseConnectionQuery === false)
    {
        die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
        return false;
    }

    $resultQuery = mysqli_query($databaseConnectionQuery,$sqlQuery);
    $fetchFields = mysqli_fetch_fields($resultQuery);
    $fetchValues = mysqli_fetch_fields($resultQuery);

    if (mysqli_num_rows($resultQuery) > 0) 
    {           

        echo "<table class='table'>";
        echo "<tr>";
        foreach ($fetchFields as $fetchedField)
         {          
            echo "<td>";
            echo "<b>" . $fetchedField->name . "<b></a>";
            echo "</td>";
        }       
        echo "</tr>";
        while($totalRows = mysqli_fetch_array($resultQuery)) 
        {           
            echo "<tr>";                                
            for($eachRecord = 0; $eachRecord < count($fetchValues);$eachRecord++)
            {           
                echo "<td>";
                echo $totalRows[$eachRecord];
                echo "</td>";               
            }
            echo "<td><a href=''><button>Edit</button></a></td>";
            echo "<td><a href=''><button>Delete</button></a></td>";
            echo "</tr>";           
        } 
        echo "</table>";        

    } 
    else
    {
      echo "No Records Found in";
    }
}

All set now Pass the arguments as For Example

$queryStatment = "SELECT * From USERS "; $testing = displayAllRecords('localhost','root','root@123','email',$queryStatment); echo $testing;

Here

localhost indicates Name of the host,

root indicates the username for database

root@123 indicates the password for the database

$queryStatment for generating Query

hope it helps

Note that this answer is outdated  The mysql extension is no longer available out of the box as of PHP7  If you want to use the old mysql functions in PHP7  you will have to compile ext mysql from PECL  See the other answers for more current solutions      This would work  see more documentation here   http   php net manual en function mysql-fetch-array php   result   mysql query  SELECT names FROM Customers     storeArray   Array    while   row   mysql fetch array  result  MYSQL ASSOC          storeArray       row  names           now  storeArray will have all the names

I would use a mysqli connection to connect to the database  Here is an example    connection   new mysqli  127 0 0 1    username    password    database name   3306     The next step is to select the information  In your case I would do    query    connection- gt query  SELECT  names  FROM  Customers        And finally we make an array from all these names by typing    array   Array    while  result    query- gt fetch assoc          array      result  names       print r  array     So what I ve done in this code  I selected all names from the table using a mysql query  Next I use a while loop to check if the  query has a next value  If so the while loop continues and adds that value to the array   array   Else the loop stops  And finally I print the array using the  print r  method so you can see it all works  I hope this was helpful
