How can PHP be used to calculate and display the total number of clicks from a database?

To calculate and display the total number of clicks from a database using PHP, you can query the database to retrieve the click counts and then sum them up to get the total. You can then display this total on your webpage using PHP. 

<?php
// Connect to your 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);
}

// Query to get the total number of clicks
$sql = "SELECT SUM(click_count) AS total_clicks FROM clicks_table";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

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

$conn->close();
?>
