How can data entered through a form in the Virtuemart backend be saved and accessed in the frontend using PHP?

To save data entered through a form in the Virtuemart backend and access it in the frontend using PHP, you can store the data in the database when the form is submitted and then retrieve it on the frontend by querying the database with PHP. 

// Save form data to the database
// Assuming you have a form with fields 'field1' and 'field2'
$field1 = $_POST['field1'];
$field2 = $_POST['field2'];

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

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

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

// Insert data into database
$sql = "INSERT INTO your_table_name (field1, field2) VALUES ('$field1', '$field2')";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}

$conn->close();

// Retrieve data from the database on the frontend
// Connect to the database
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

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

// Retrieve data from the database
$sql = "SELECT * FROM your_table_name";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // output data of each row
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "Field1: " . $row["field1"]. " - Field2: " . $row["field2"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "0 results";
}

$conn->close();
