How can PHP be used to effectively display data from multiple tables in a cohesive manner on a webpage?

To display data from multiple tables in a cohesive manner on a webpage using PHP, you can use SQL queries to retrieve the necessary data from each table and then use PHP to format and display the data in a cohesive way on the webpage. You can use JOIN statements in your SQL queries to combine data from multiple tables based on a common key. Finally, you can use PHP to loop through the retrieved data and display it in a structured format on the webpage. 

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

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

// SQL query to retrieve data from multiple tables
$sql = "SELECT t1.column1, t2.column2
        FROM table1 t1
        JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.common_key = t2.common_key";

$result = $conn->query($sql);

// Display data in a cohesive manner
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "Column 1: " . $row["column1"]. " - Column 2: " . $row["column2"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "0 results";
}

$conn->close();
?>
