PHP – Simple way to read single record from MySQL

I want to query multiple rows in mysql as variable. for example:

SELECT name, tid FROM term_data WHERE vid = 2

this is the result:

name | tid
-----|----
Jack | 55
Tony | 87
John | 32

then I want to use while:

while (...) {

print "My name is: $name and my ID is: $tid";
//name and tid should be printed from database. 

}

I can query one row and put it in a while but How is this possible?

Example from the PHP manual:

<?php
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "my_user", "my_password", "world");

/* check connection */
if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
    exit();
}

$query = "SELECT Name, CountryCode FROM City ORDER by ID DESC LIMIT 50,5";

if ($result = mysqli_query($link, $query)) {

    /* fetch associative array */
    while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        printf ("%s (%s)\n", $row["Name"], $row["CountryCode"]);
    }

    /* free result set */
    mysqli_free_result($result);
}

/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>
