How can the number of links in a category be displayed in PHP?

To display the number of links in a category in PHP, you can use a database query to count the number of rows in a table that belong to that category. You can then echo out this count to display it on the webpage.

<?php

// Assuming you have a database connection already established

$category_id = 1; // Replace with the actual category ID
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as link_count FROM links WHERE category_id = $category_id";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);

echo "Number of links in this category: " . $row['link_count'];

?>
