How can PHP be used to interact with a MySQL database using Phpmyadmin?

To interact with a MySQL database using Phpmyadmin in PHP, you can use the mysqli extension. You need to establish a connection to the database, execute SQL queries, fetch results, and handle errors appropriately. 

// Connect to the database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database_name";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

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

// Execute SQL query
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

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

// Close connection
$conn->close();
