How can the number of variables in an INSERT INTO statement be accurately matched to the number of fields in a database table in PHP?

When using an INSERT INTO statement in PHP, the number of variables being inserted should match the number of fields in the database table. To ensure this, you can dynamically generate the placeholders for the variables based on the number of fields in the table. This can be achieved by fetching the table structure and dynamically creating the placeholders for the variables. 

// Get the table structure
$tableFields = array('field1', 'field2', 'field3'); // Replace with actual table fields

// Generate placeholders for variables
$placeholders = implode(',', array_fill(0, count($tableFields), '?'));

// Prepare the INSERT INTO statement
$sql = "INSERT INTO table_name (" . implode(',', $tableFields) . ") VALUES ($placeholders)";

// Execute the query with the variables
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute([$value1, $value2, $value3]); // Replace with actual values
