How can PHP be used to retrieve specific values from a MySQL query result and display them in a desired format?

To retrieve specific values from a MySQL query result in PHP and display them in a desired format, you can use the `mysqli_fetch_assoc()` function to fetch each row as an associative array. You can then access the specific values you need by specifying the column name as the key in the associative array. Finally, you can format and display the values as desired using PHP.

// Assuming $result is the MySQL query result
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $value1 = $row['column_name1'];
    $value2 = $row['column_name2'];
    
    // Format and display the values as desired
    echo "Value 1: $value1, Value 2: $value2 <br>";
}
