The document discusses connecting to and interacting with MySQL databases from PHP. It covers creating a database, connecting to MySQL from PHP, creating tables, inserting, retrieving, updating and deleting data. Specific PHP MySQL functions and code examples are provided, including mysqli_connect to connect to the database, mysqli_query to run queries, and mysqli_fetch_assoc to retrieve result rows. The document provides a tutorial on basic MySQL database operations using PHP.

5.2 Connecting to a MYSQL database: MYSQL database server from PHP
5.3 Database operations : Insert data, Retrieving the Query result 5.4 Update and delete operations on table data Introduction to MySQL- create a database.
● MySQL is a database system used on the web
● MySQL is a database system that runs on a server ● MySQL is ideal for both small and large applications ● MySQL is very fast, reliable, and easy to use ● MySQL uses standard SQL ● MySQL compiles on a number of platforms ● MySQL is free to download and use ● MySQL is developed, distributed, and supported by Oracle Corporation Working of mysql database with php Create database <?php $servername = "localhost"; $username = "root"; $password = "";/* Put your password here*/ /* Create connection*/ $conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password); /* Check connection*/ if (!$conn) { die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } /* Create database*/ $sql = "CREATE DATABASE stud"; if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) { echo " $sql created successfully"; }else{ echo "Error creating database: " . mysqli_error($conn); } mysqli_close($conn); ?> mysqli_connect(host, username, password, dbname, port, socket)
Parameter Description
host Optional. Specifies a host name or an IP address
username Optional. Specifies the MySQL username
passworda Optional. Specifies the MySQL password
dbname Optional. Specifies the default database to be used
port Optional. Specifies the port number to attempt to connect to the
MySQL server
socket Optional. Specifies the socket or named pipe to be used
The die():- is an inbuilt function in PHP. It is used to print message and exit from the current php script. It is equivalent to exit() function in PHP.
Syntax :
die($message)
Parameters : This function accepts only one parameter and which is not mandatory to be passed.
$message : This parameter represents the message to printed while exiting from script. Connection to a Mysql database
Php will work with virtually all database software,including oracle and sybase but most commonly used is freely available MYSQL database
php 5 and later can work with MYSQL database using:
1)MYSQLi extension(“the “i” stands for improved”),and
2)PDO(php data objects)
PHP Connect to MySQL Should I Use MySQLi or PDO? If you need a short answer, it would be "Whatever you like".
● Both MySQLi and PDO have their advantages:
● PDO will work on 12 different database systems, whereas MySQLi will only work with MySQL databases. ● So, if you have to switch your project to use another database, PDO makes the process easy. You only have to change the connection string and a few queries. With MySQLi, you will need to rewrite the entire code - queries included. ● Both are object-oriented, but MySQLi also offers a procedural API. ● Both support Prepared Statements. Prepared Statements protect from SQL injection, and are very important for web application security. Table Creation
// Create connection $conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname); // Check connection if (!$conn) { die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } // sql to create table $sql = "CREATE TABLE CO ( id INT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, firstname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, lastname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR(50), reg_date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP )"; if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) { echo "$sql successfully"; } else { echo "Error creating table: " . mysqli_error($conn); } mysqli_close($conn); ?> After the data type, you can specify other optional attributes for each column:
NOT NULL - Each row must contain a value for that column, null values are not allowed DEFAULT value - Set a default value that is added when no other value is passed UNSIGNED - Used for number types, limits the stored data to positive numbers and zero AUTO INCREMENT - MySQL automatically increases the value of the field by 1 each time a new record is added PRIMARY KEY - Used to uniquely identify the rows in a table. The column with PRIMARY KEY setting is often an ID number, and is often used with AUTO_INCREMENT Each table should have a primary key column (in this case: the "id" column). Its value must be unique for each record in the table. Insert data in table <?php $servername = "localhost"; $username = "username"; $password = "password"; $dbname = "myDB";
// Create connection $conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname); // Check connection if (!$conn) { die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } $sql = "INSERT INTO MyGuests (firstname, lastname, email) VALUES ('John', 'Doe', 'john@example.com')"; if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) { echo "New record created successfully"; } else { echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($conn); }
mysqli_close($conn); ?> Retrive and present Data using Select command <?php $servername = "localhost"; $username = "root"; $password = ""; $dbname = "stud";
// Create connection $conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname); // Check connection if (!$conn) { die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } // sql to delete a record $sql = "delete FROM co WHERE id=1";
