How can the AUTO_INCREMENT value be managed or reset in a MyISAM table?

To manage or reset the AUTO_INCREMENT value in a MyISAM table, you can use the ALTER TABLE statement to change the AUTO_INCREMENT value to a specific number. This can be useful when you want to reset the AUTO_INCREMENT value to a specific starting point or if you want to change the next value that will be assigned to a new row. 

<?php
// Connect to the database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Reset AUTO_INCREMENT value in MyISAM table
$sql = "ALTER TABLE table_name AUTO_INCREMENT = 1";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "AUTO_INCREMENT value reset successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error resetting AUTO_INCREMENT value: " . $conn->error;
}

// Close connection
$conn->close();
?>
