How can the PHP version being used impact the successful execution of database insertion queries?

The PHP version being used can impact the successful execution of database insertion queries due to changes in syntax or deprecated functions. To solve this issue, ensure that the PHP version being used is compatible with the database library being utilized and update any deprecated functions in the code. 

// Check the PHP version and connect to the database
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '7.0.0') >= 0) {
    $mysqli = new mysqli('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database');
    if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
        die("Connection failed: " . $mysqli->connect_error);
    }

    // Insert data into the database
    $sql = "INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2) VALUES ('value1', 'value2')";
    if ($mysqli->query($sql) === TRUE) {
        echo "Record inserted successfully";
    } else {
        echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $mysqli->error;
    }

    $mysqli->close();
} else {
    echo "PHP version 7.0.0 or higher is required for database operations";
}
