How can values be retrieved from a database and passed as GET parameters in a PHP script?

To retrieve values from a database and pass them as GET parameters in a PHP script, you can first query the database to fetch the values, then construct a URL with the values as parameters, and finally redirect the user to the new URL with the parameters included. 

<?php
// Connect to the database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Retrieve values from the database
$sql = "SELECT column1, column2 FROM table WHERE condition";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    $row = $result->fetch_assoc();
    $value1 = $row["column1"];
    $value2 = $row["column2"];
    
    // Redirect to new URL with values as GET parameters
    header("Location: new_page.php?param1=$value1&param2=$value2");
} else {
    echo "0 results";
}

$conn->close();
?>
