Inventory System in PHP SCRIPT With Crude Operations
Inventory System in PHP SCRIPT With Crude Operations
Danielle John and MIlky and today we will be guiding you through a PHP-based Inventory System. This
project is built using PHP and MySQL, with a simple yet practical user interface to manage products,
stocks, and reports effectively. Whether you’re building your own system or just exploring basic backend
management tools, this walkthrough will give you a solid overview.”
0:30 – 2:00 Features Overview “Let’s begin with the main features. First, Go to our browser to access
the produc. Here we can see where we can add, edit, or remove product entries.
Step-by-Step Demonstration “Let’s walk through the system.” I’ll enter details like product
name, Description, quantity, and price. By clicking the ADD PRODUCT button the PHP validates
the input and stores it in the database using an SQL INSERT query.”
- View and Edit Products - “ by clicking EDIT button under action button, we can edit items in a
table. Each item includes actions like edit or delete. You can alse retrieve product data using an
SQL SELECT * FROM statement then press CTRL+ ENTER under SQL QUERY TAB.
- Managing Stock In/Out - “Now let’s adjust stock. To manage stock levels in your inventory
system, you'll often need to adjust product quantities—either to reflect stock-ins (incoming
supplies) or stock-outs (sales, shrinkage, etc.). Here's how you can do that using SQL commands.
UPDATE products
SET quantity = quantity + 20
WHERE name = 'USB Flash Drive';
UPDATE products
SET quantity = quantity - 5
WHERE name = 'USB Flash Drive';
To delete a product from your products table in SQL, you use the DELETE statement. Here are a
few ways to do it safely and effectively, under SQL tab , type
DELETE FROM products WHERE id = 3;
This removes the product with id = 3 from your table.
🔎 Delete by Product Name
DELETE FROM products WHERE name = 'USB Flash Drive';
Be cautious here—if multiple products share the same name, all matching rows will be deleted.
9:00 – 10:00 Conclusion “That wraps up our demo of the PHP Inventory System this tool is
ideal for small businesses or anyone learning CRUD or (Create, Read, Update, and Delete
operations in PHP,. You can extend this project by adding barcode scanning, APIs, or role-based
permissions. Thanks for watching, and feel free to explore the code further or ask questions!”
CRUD operations, which stand for Create, Read, Update, and Delete, are the four basic functions used to
manage data in databases and applications. These operations form the foundation for how users interact
with and manipulate information within a system.
Create:
This operation adds new data records or entries into the database. For example, when a user signs up for
an account on a website, a new user record is created in the database.
Read:
This operation retrieves data from the database. It allows users to view existing information, either
specific records or all data within a particular table or view.
Update:
This operation modifies existing data in the database. For instance, when a user changes their profile
information, the corresponding record in the database is updated.
Delete:
This operation removes data records from the database. For example, when a user deletes a post on
social media, that post is removed from the database.
CRUD operations are fundamental to almost all applications that interact with databases or persistent
storage. They are also relevant to RESTful APIs, where they often correspond to HTTP methods like POST
(Create), GET (Read), PUT/PATCH (Update), and DELETE (Delete).
