This question already has an answer here:
I am learning php and creating a basic site with a "Control Panel". Right now I'm encountering an error with my code while attempting to get the amount of registered users. My database:

$conn = mysqli_connect($dbServername, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbName);
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}I've tried error-reporting but mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT); returned nothing, but entering select COUNT(user_id) registered_users from users in phpmyadmin would return registered_users 1. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

$sql = "select COUNT(user_id) registered_users from users";
$var = $row['count'];
You select the count as registered_users but you're trying to read a field count which does not exist. Use $row['registered_users'] instead.
Change your sql with this:
$sql = "select COUNT(user_id) from users";
And try to assign the value as:
$var = $row['COUNT(user_id)'];
