How can you display data from a MySQL table only if a specific value is met in PHP?

To display data from a MySQL table only if a specific value is met in PHP, you can use a SQL query with a WHERE clause to filter the results based on the specific value. This allows you to retrieve and display only the rows that meet the specified condition. 

<?php
// Connect to MySQL 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);
}

// Specify the specific value to check for
$specificValue = "example";

// SQL query to select data only if the specific value is met
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name = '$specificValue'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

// Display the data
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "Column 1: " . $row["column1"]. " - Column 2: " . $row["column2"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "No results found.";
}

$conn->close();
?>
