How can variables be properly incorporated into a PHP command for execution?

When incorporating variables into a PHP command for execution, it is important to concatenate the variable with the command using the dot (.) operator. This ensures that the variable's value is properly inserted into the command. Additionally, it is important to properly sanitize and validate user input to prevent security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection. 

// Example of incorporating a variable into a PHP command for execution
$user_id = $_GET['user_id']; // Assuming user_id is obtained from user input
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = " . $user_id;
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);
