What are the common reasons for SQL queries not returning results in PHP, and how can they be resolved?

Common reasons for SQL queries not returning results in PHP include syntax errors in the query, incorrect table or column names, insufficient permissions, or the query not actually matching any data in the database. To resolve this, carefully check the query for errors, ensure table and column names are correct, verify user permissions, and double-check that the data being queried actually exists. 

// Example of a correct SQL query in PHP
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = 1";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

if ($result) {
    // Process the results
} else {
    echo "Error: " . mysqli_error($connection);
}
