What function can be used to prevent access to a table during script execution in PHP?

To prevent access to a table during script execution in PHP, you can use the `LOCK TABLES` command to lock the table for write operations. This prevents other scripts or users from accessing or modifying the table while your script is running. Once your script is done executing, you can release the lock using the `UNLOCK TABLES` command. 

// Lock the table before executing any write operations
$mysqli->query('LOCK TABLES table_name WRITE');

// Perform your database operations here

// Release the lock after finishing the operations
$mysqli->query('UNLOCK TABLES');
