Summary

Because mysqli_result does not support fetch_column, to retrieve a single column's data, you need to combine other methods. Understanding the difference between them and their proper usage can help avoid common development errors.

It is recommended to use PDO's fetchColumn() method when a concise column retrieval is needed, while in the mysqli environment, using fetch_row or fetch_assoc is advisable.
