How does the BETWEEN function in MySQL work and when should it be used in PHP code?

The BETWEEN function in MySQL is used to specify a range to filter results in a query. It allows you to retrieve records where a certain value falls within a specified range. This can be useful when you want to retrieve data within a specific range of values, such as dates, numbers, or strings. 

// Example of using the BETWEEN function in MySQL with PHP code
$minValue = 10;
$maxValue = 20;

$query = "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name BETWEEN $minValue AND $maxValue";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

// Process the result set
if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        // Output or process each row
    }
} else {
    echo "No results found.";
}
