How can you sort a SQL column alphabetically in PHP?
To sort a SQL column alphabetically in PHP, you can use an SQL query with the ORDER BY clause. By specifying the column you want to sort and the ASC keyword for ascending order, you can retrieve the data in alphabetical order. You can then execute the query using PHP's PDO or mysqli extension to fetch and display the sorted data.
<?php
// Connect to database
$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=your_database', 'username', 'password');
// Prepare and execute SQL query to sort column alphabetically
$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT * FROM your_table ORDER BY column_name ASC");
$stmt->execute();
// Fetch and display sorted data
while ($row = $stmt->fetch()) {
echo $row['column_name'] . "<br>";
}
?>
