How can aliases in SQL queries be accessed and utilized in PHP code?

Aliases in SQL queries can be accessed and utilized in PHP code by fetching the aliased column name from the query result set. This can be done by using the alias as the key when fetching rows from the result set using functions like `mysqli_fetch_assoc()` or `PDO::fetch()`. By using the alias as the key, you can access the aliased column values directly in your PHP code. 

// Assuming $conn is your database connection
$sql = "SELECT column_name AS alias_name FROM table_name";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        echo $row['alias_name']; // Accessing the aliased column value
    }
}
