How can PHP be used to extract file names from a database and display them alongside corresponding images in a gallery?

To extract file names from a database and display them alongside corresponding images in a gallery, you can first query the database to retrieve the file names and then use PHP to dynamically generate HTML code for displaying the images. You can use a loop to iterate through the results and create image tags with the file names as the source attribute. Finally, you can style the images using CSS to create a visually appealing gallery layout. 

<?php
// Connect to database
$connection = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "database");

// Query to retrieve file names from database
$query = "SELECT file_name FROM images";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

// Display images in a gallery
echo '<div class="gallery">';
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo '<img src="images/' . $row['file_name'] . '" alt="' . $row['file_name'] . '">';
}
echo '</div>';

// Close database connection
mysqli_close($connection);
?>
