What are the best practices for linking values from a MySQL database in PHP to create clickable entries in a listbox?

When displaying values from a MySQL database in a listbox in PHP, you can create clickable entries by using HTML anchor tags (<a>) with the appropriate href attribute to link to a specific page or action. You can dynamically generate these anchor tags by fetching the values from the database and looping through them to create clickable entries in the listbox. 

&lt;?php
// Connect to MySQL database
$connection = mysqli_connect(&quot;localhost&quot;, &quot;username&quot;, &quot;password&quot;, &quot;database&quot;);

// Query to fetch values from database
$query = &quot;SELECT id, name FROM table&quot;;
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

// Display listbox with clickable entries
echo &#039;&lt;select&gt;&#039;;
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    echo &#039;&lt;option&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;details.php?id=&#039; . $row[&#039;id&#039;] . &#039;&quot;&gt;&#039; . $row[&#039;name&#039;] . &#039;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/option&gt;&#039;;
}
echo &#039;&lt;/select&gt;&#039;;

// Close database connection
mysqli_close($connection);
?&gt;
