How can one effectively learn PHP and MySQL together for larger projects?

To effectively learn PHP and MySQL together for larger projects, one can start by understanding the basics of PHP programming language and MySQL database management system. It is important to practice writing PHP scripts that interact with MySQL databases, such as connecting to a database, querying data, inserting/updating/deleting records, and handling errors. Additionally, working on real-world projects and building web applications that utilize PHP and MySQL will help solidify the understanding and skills needed for larger projects. 

<?php
// Connect to MySQL 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 MySQL queries
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Name: " . $row["name"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "0 results";
}

$conn->close();
?>
