How can PHP developers handle default values for Mysql cells when using integer types?

When working with integer types in MySQL, if a column is set to allow NULL values, the default value will be NULL if not specified. To handle default values for integer columns, PHP developers can explicitly set the default value to 0 when inserting records into the database to avoid NULL values. 

// Example code to handle default values for integer columns in MySQL
$mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "database");

// Define the default value for integer columns
$default_value = 0;

// Insert data into the table with default values for integer columns
$query = "INSERT INTO table_name (int_column) VALUES ($default_value)";
$result = $mysqli->query($query);

if ($result) {
    echo "Record inserted successfully with default value for integer column";
} else {
    echo "Error inserting record: " . $mysqli->error;
}

$mysqli->close();
