function getNewProducts($numProducts) { // connect to database $db = new mysqli('localhost', 'username', 'password', 'database'); // query database for newest products $query = "SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY date_added DESC LIMIT $numProducts"; $results = $db->query($query); // return array of new products $newProducts = array(); while ($row = $results->fetch_assoc()) { $newProducts[] = $row; } return $newProducts; }In this example, the getNewProducts function takes a parameter $numProducts, which is the number of new products to retrieve. It connects to a database using mysqli, then queries the products table to fetch the newest products based on the date_added column. The function returns an array of new products.
