In a PHP-SQL environment, where and how should options fields be integrated, and are functions or arrays necessary for this task?

In a PHP-SQL environment, options fields can be integrated into a form using HTML select elements. The options can be populated dynamically from a database using PHP functions or arrays. Functions can be used to fetch data from the database and generate the options, while arrays can store the options directly in the code. 

// Example using PHP function to populate options from a database

// Connect to the database
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Query to fetch options from a table
$sql = "SELECT id, option_name FROM options_table";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

// Generate select options
echo "<select name='options'>";
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    echo "<option value='" . $row['id'] . "'>" . $row['option_name'] . "</option>";
}
echo "</select>";

// Close database connection
$conn->close();
