How can PHP be utilized to create a compact overview of all news articles on the homepage of a website?

To create a compact overview of all news articles on the homepage of a website using PHP, you can fetch the news articles from a database and display them in a structured format, such as a list with titles and brief summaries. This can be achieved by using PHP to query the database for the news articles and then looping through the results to display them on the homepage.

<?php
// Connect to the database
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=your_database', 'username', 'password');

// Query to fetch news articles
$query = $pdo->query('SELECT * FROM news_articles');

// Display news articles
echo '<ul>';
while ($row = $query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
    echo '<li><h3>' . $row['title'] . '</h3>';
    echo '<p>' . $row['summary'] . '</p></li>';
}
echo '</ul>';
?>
