PHP & MySQL

MySQL is the most popular database system used with PHP.

What is MySQL?

 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

Following steps are there:

 Connecting to MySQL database − Learn how to use PHP to open and


close a MySQL database connection.
 Create MySQL Database Using PHP  − This part explains how to
create MySQL database and tables using PHP.
 Delete MySQL Database Using PHP − This part explains how to
delete MySQL database and tables using PHP.
 Insert Data To MySQL Database − Once you have created your
database and tables then you would like to insert your data into
created tables. This session will take you through real example on
data insert.
 Retrieve Data From MySQL Database  − Learn how to fetch records
from MySQL database using PHP.
 Updating Data Into MySQL Database  − This part explains how to
update existing records into MySQL database using PHP.
 Deleting Data From MySQL Database  − This part explains how to
delete or purge existing records from MySQL database using PHP.
1. Open a Connection to MySQL
Before we can access data in the MySQL database, we need to be able to
connect to the server:

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";

// Create connection
$conn = newmysqli($servername, $username, $password);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} 
echo "Connected successfully";
?>

2. Close the Connection

The connection will be closed automatically when the script ends. To close
the connection before, use the following:

Example
$conn->close();

3. Create a MySQL Database Using MySQLi


Create database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE myDB";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
    echo "Database created successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error creating database: "

4. PHP Create MySQL Tables

The CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a table in MySQL.

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
)

 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

5. INSERT DATA INTO TABLES


The INSERT INTO statement is used to add new records to a MySQL table:

INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...)


VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)

EXAMPLE

"INSERT INTO MyGuests (firstname, lastname, email)


VALUES ('John', 'Doe', 'john@example.com')"

6. Select Data From a MySQL Database


The SELECT statement is used to select data from one or more tables:

SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name

or we can use the * character to select ALL columns from a table:

SELECT * FROM table_name

Example
<?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 = "SELECT id, firstname, lastname FROM MyGuests";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    // output data of each row
    while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Name: " . $row["firstname"]. " " .
$row["lastname"]. "<br>";
    }
} else {
    echo "0 results";
}
mysqli_close($conn);
?>

7. DELETE Command
The DELETE statement is used to delete records from a table:

DELETE FROM table_name


WHERE some_column = some_value

Example :
// sql to delete a record
$sql = "DELETE FROM MyGuests WHERE id=3";

8. UPDATE

The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a table:

UPDATE table_name
SET column1=value, column2=value2,...
WHERE some_column=some_value 

Example
$sql = "UPDATE MyGuests SET lastname='Doe' WHERE id=2";
