How can the use of reserved words in MySQL impact PHP code execution and how can it be mitigated?

When using reserved words in MySQL as column names or table names, it can lead to syntax errors in PHP code when executing queries. To mitigate this issue, you can enclose the reserved words in backticks (`) in your SQL queries to avoid conflicts with MySQL keywords. 

// Example of using backticks to enclose reserved words in MySQL queries

$column = 'order'; // 'order' is a reserved word in MySQL
$query = "SELECT `$column` FROM orders_table WHERE id = 1";

// Execute the query using mysqli or PDO
