if ($mysqli->connect_errno) {
  echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: ". $mysqli->connect_error;
  exit();
}

//getting query result from the database
$sql = "SELECT Name, Age FROM Employee ORDER BY Age";
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);

//closing the connection
$mysqli->close();

//processing the data retrieved from the database
//- fetching all result rows as associative array
$rows = $result->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
