How can one sort database records by date and limit the output in PHP?

To sort database records by date and limit the output in PHP, you can use a SQL query with the ORDER BY clause to sort the records by date, and the LIMIT clause to restrict the number of records returned. You can then execute the query using PHP's PDO or mysqli extension to fetch and display the sorted and limited records. 

<?php
// Connect to database
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=your_database", "username", "password");

// Prepare and execute SQL query to sort records by date and limit the output
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM your_table ORDER BY date_column DESC LIMIT 10");
$stmt->execute();

// Fetch and display sorted and limited records
while ($row = $stmt->fetch()) {
    echo $row['date_column'] . " - " . $row['other_column'] . "<br>";
}
?>
