How can the user's name be dynamically displayed in HTML using PHP and database queries?

To dynamically display the user's name in HTML using PHP and database queries, you can first retrieve the user's name from the database based on their user ID. Then, you can store the retrieved name in a PHP variable and echo it within the HTML code where you want it to be displayed. 

<?php
// Assuming you have established a database connection

// Retrieve user's name from the database based on user ID
$user_id = 1; // Example user ID
$query = "SELECT name FROM users WHERE id = $user_id";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);
$user = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);

// Store the user's name in a PHP variable
$user_name = $user['name'];
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Welcome <?php echo $user_name; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Welcome, <?php echo $user_name; ?>!</h1>
</body>
</html>
