Is it possible to count the number of entries in a database table and output that number with PHP?

To count the number of entries in a database table and output that number with PHP, you can use a SQL query to retrieve the count of rows in the table. You can then fetch the result and display it on the webpage using PHP. 

<?php
// Connect to the database
$conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database');

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// SQL query to count the number of entries in a table
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM table_name";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // Output the count of entries
    $row = $result->fetch_assoc();
    echo "Number of entries in table: " . $row['count'];
} else {
    echo "0 entries found";
}

// Close the connection
$conn->close();
?>
