How does PHP work with databases on a business website?

PHP works with databases by generating HTML on the server, querying data, and returning the result to the browser. This makes it possible to create pages that display product catalogs, user profiles, orders, and other business data dynamically rather than relying on static content.

That server-side connection is especially useful for sites that require secure login, content management, or custom reporting. The PHP code handles the data exchange and preserves control over database queries, which helps keep business logic consistent and maintainable.
