What are some best practices for creating an editable links collection accessible from anywhere using PHP?

Creating an editable links collection accessible from anywhere using PHP involves storing the links in a database and creating a user interface to add, edit, and delete links. One way to achieve this is by creating a table in a database to store the links and using PHP to interact with the database to perform CRUD operations on the links. 

<?php
// Connect to database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "links_collection";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

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

// Create table to store links
$sql = "CREATE TABLE links (
    id INT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    url VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    description VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
)";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "Table links created successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error creating table: " . $conn->error;
}

$conn->close();
?>
