PHP MySQL Database
1. Open a Connection to MySQL Server
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
// Create connection
$conn = mysql_connect($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysql_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>
2. Create a MySQL Database (myDB)
// Create database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE myDB";
if (mysql_query($conn, $sql)==True) {
echo "Database created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error creating database: " ;
}
3. Create a MySQL Table
// sql to create table
$sql = "CREATE TABLE MyGuests (
id INT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
firstname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
lastname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(50),
reg_date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
)";
if (mysql_query($conn, $sql)==False) {
echo " Error creating table: ";
} else {
echo " Table MyGuests created successfully " ;
}
4. PHP MySQL Insert Data
$sql = "INSERT INTO MyGuests (firstname, lastname, email)
VALUES ('Hiba', 'Salah', '
[email protected]')";
if (mysql_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: in executing the inserting query" ;
}
5. Select Data From a MySQL Database
$sql = "SELECT id, firstname, lastname FROM MyGuests";
$result = mysql_query($conn, $sql);
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Name: " . $row["firstname"]. " " .
$row["lastname"]. "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
6. Select and Filter Data From a MySQL
Database
$sql = "SELECT id, firstname, lastname FROM MyGuests WHERE
lastname='Ahmad'";
$result = mysql_query($conn, $sql);
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Name: " . $row["firstname"]. " " .
$row["lastname"]. "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
7. Delete Data From a MySQL Table
// sql to delete a record
$sql = "DELETE FROM MyGuests WHERE id=3";
if (mysql_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "Record deleted successfully";
} else {
echo "Error deleting record: " . mysqli_error($conn);
}
8. Update Data In a MySQL Table
$sql = "UPDATE MyGuests SET lastname='Doe' WHERE id=2";
if (mysql_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "Record updated successfully";
} else {
echo "Error updating record: " . mysqli_error($conn);
}
