How can one specifically extract a single cell value from a MySQL database using PHP's mysqli functions?

To extract a single cell value from a MySQL database using PHP's mysqli functions, you can execute a SELECT query with the specific column and condition to retrieve the desired value. You can then fetch the result using mysqli_fetch_assoc or mysqli_fetch_array to access the value. 

<?php
// Connect to the database
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "database");

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

// Execute query to retrieve single cell value
$query = "SELECT column_name FROM table_name WHERE condition";
$result = $mysqli->query($query);

// Fetch the result and access the value
if ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    $cellValue = $row['column_name'];
    echo $cellValue;
} else {
    echo "No results found";
}

// Close connection
$mysqli->close();
?>
