How can PHP variables be properly resolved and inserted into SQL queries to prevent errors?

To properly resolve and insert PHP variables into SQL queries to prevent errors, it is important to use prepared statements with parameterized queries. This helps to sanitize and validate user input, preventing SQL injection attacks and errors related to special characters in the input data. 

// Example of using prepared statements to insert PHP variables into SQL queries safely

// Establish a database connection
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=mydatabase", "username", "password");

// Prepare a SQL query with a placeholder for the variable
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO mytable (column1, column2) VALUES (:value1, :value2)");

// Bind the PHP variables to the placeholders
$stmt->bindParam(':value1', $variable1);
$stmt->bindParam(':value2', $variable2);

// Execute the query with the bound variables
$stmt->execute();
