How can discrepancies between query results in PHP and PHPMyAdmin be resolved when summing values from a database?

Discrepancies between query results in PHP and PHPMyAdmin when summing values from a database can be resolved by ensuring that the query in PHP is accurately reflecting the query in PHPMyAdmin. This includes checking for any discrepancies in the SQL syntax, table names, column names, and conditions used in the query. 

<?php
// 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);
}

// Perform the query to sum values from a table
$sql = "SELECT SUM(column_name) AS total FROM table_name WHERE condition";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

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

$conn->close();
?>
