What function should be used to execute the query and fetch the result from the database in PHP?

To execute a query and fetch the result from the database in PHP, you can use the `mysqli_query()` function to execute the query and then use `mysqli_fetch_assoc()` or `mysqli_fetch_array()` functions to fetch the results. Make sure to establish a database connection before executing the query. 

// Establish a database connection
$connection = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "database_name");

// Execute the query
$query = "SELECT * FROM table_name";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

// Fetch the results
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    // Process the data
    echo $row['column_name'] . "<br>";
}

// Close the connection
mysqli_close($connection);
