In the context of PHP usage, what are the best practices for handling database query results with multiple language and qualification values?

When handling database query results with multiple language and qualification values in PHP, it is best practice to store the values in an associative array where the keys represent the language or qualification type. This allows for easy retrieval of the values based on the specific language or qualification needed. 

// Sample code snippet to handle database query results with multiple language and qualification values

// Assuming $results is an array of database query results with language and qualification values

$languageQualifications = [];

foreach ($results as $result) {
    $language = $result['language'];
    $qualification = $result['qualification'];
    
    // Store the values in an associative array
    $languageQualifications[$language] = $qualification;
}

// Retrieve the qualification value based on the desired language
$desiredLanguage = 'English';
if (isset($languageQualifications[$desiredLanguage])) {
    $qualificationValue = $languageQualifications[$desiredLanguage];
    echo "Qualification for $desiredLanguage: $qualificationValue";
} else {
    echo "Qualification not found for $desiredLanguage";
}
