What are some best practices for inserting MySQL data into an HTML list using PHP?

To insert MySQL data into an HTML list using PHP, you can retrieve the data from the database using a SELECT query and then loop through the results to generate the list items. You can use PHP's echo function to output the HTML list structure with the retrieved data inserted into the list items. 

<?php
// Connect to MySQL database
$connection = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "database");

// Check connection
if (!$connection) {
    die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

// Retrieve data from MySQL
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $sql);

// Output HTML list
echo "<ul>";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo "<li>" . $row['column_name'] . "</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";

// Close connection
mysqli_close($connection);
?>
