How can PHP developers efficiently handle multiple links from a database and store them in an array for display on a webpage?

When handling multiple links from a database in PHP, developers can efficiently store them in an array by fetching the links from the database using a query and then looping through the results to store each link in an array. This array can then be easily accessed and displayed on a webpage using a loop to iterate through the array and output the links. 

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

// Query to fetch multiple links from the database
$query = "SELECT link FROM links_table";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

// Initialize an empty array to store the links
$links = array();

// Loop through the results and store each link in the array
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $links[] = $row['link'];
}

// Output the links on the webpage using a loop
foreach ($links as $link) {
    echo "<a href='$link'>$link</a><br>";
}

// Close the database connection
mysqli_close($connection);
