How can an admin menu be integrated with a PHP news ticker to allow for easy content management?

To integrate an admin menu with a PHP news ticker for easy content management, you can create a simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) system that allows administrators to add, edit, and delete news items directly from a web interface. This can be achieved by creating a form in the admin panel where administrators can input the news content and save it to a database. The PHP news ticker can then retrieve the news items from the database and display them on the website. 

<?php
// Admin menu code
// This code can be placed in a separate admin panel file

// Connect to database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "news_database";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Display form for adding news items
echo '<form action="add_news.php" method="post">
        <label for="news_content">News Content:</label><br>
        <input type="text" id="news_content" name="news_content"><br>
        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>';

// PHP news ticker code
// This code can be placed in the website where the news ticker is displayed

// Connect to database
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Retrieve news items from database
$sql = "SELECT news_content FROM news_table";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // Output data of each row
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "<li>" . $row["news_content"] . "</li>";
    }
} else {
    echo "0 results";
}

$conn->close();
?>
