Mysql Database:: How To Connect To Databse

The document provides code examples for connecting to a MySQL database, creating databases and tables, inserting, selecting, updating, and deleting data from database tables. It also includes examples of using PHP for forms and form validation, cookies, and sessions. Code snippets are provided to demonstrate how to: connect to a MySQL database, create a database and table, insert and select data, delete rows from a table, update table contents, create a basic HTML form with client-side validation, set and retrieve cookies, use sessions to store and retrieve user information across pages, and destroy a session. Common PHP superglobal variables ($_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_SESSION) are also briefly explained.

Forms and Mysql database and form validation:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function validate()
{
if(document.getElementById("t1").value>100)
{
alert("ID value should be less than 100");
}
else if(document.getElementById("t2").value.length<6)
{
alert("name length should minimum of 6 characters");
}
else
{
document.getElementById("form1").submit();
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<form id="form1" action="store.php" method="get">
<label>ID:</label><input type="text" id="t1" name="t1" placeholder="id should be
less than 100"/><br><br>
<label>Name:</label><input type="text" id="t2" name="t2" placeholder="name
should not be less than 6 characters"/><br><br>
<button type="button" onclick="validate()">submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Store.php:

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "testdb";
$id=(int)$_GET["t1"];
$uname=$_GET["t2"];
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);

// sql to insert into table


$sql = "insert into myguest(id,firstname)values($id,'$uname')";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {


echo "insertion on MyGuests is successfully";
} else {
echo "Error creating table: " . $conn->error;
}

$conn->close();
?>

Cookies:

What is a Cookie?
A cookie is often used to identify a user. A cookie is a small file that the server embeds on the user's computer.
Each time the same computer requests a page with a browser, it will send the cookie too. With PHP, you can
both create and retrieve cookie values.

Create Cookies With PHP


A cookie is created with the setcookie() function.

Syntax
setcookie(name, value, expire, path, domain, secure, httponly);

Only the name parameter is required. All other parameters are optional.

Create cookie:

Example:

Setcookie.php:
<?php
//set cookie using setcookie() method
setcookie("user","jordan",time()+86400,"/");
echo "<a href='getcookie.php'>Go to getcookie.php</a>";
?>

getcookie.php:

<?php
if(isset($_COOKIE["user"]))
{
//getting cookie value using its name
echo "<h1>The cookie value :</h1>".$_COOKIE["user"];

}
else
{
echo "cookie is not set";
}
?>
Deletecookie.php:

<?php
//to delete cookie
// set the expiration date to one hour ago
setcookie("user", "", time() - 3600);
?>
<html>
<body>

<?php
echo "Cookie 'user' is deleted.";
?>

</body>
</html>

Sessions:

A session is a way to store information (in variables) to be used across multiple pages.

Unlike a cookie, the information is not stored on the users computer.

What is a PHP Session?


When you work with an application, you open it, do some changes, and then you close it. This is much like a
Session. The computer knows who you are. It knows when you start the application and when you end. But on
the internet there is one problem: the web server does not know who you are or what you do, because the
HTTP address doesn't maintain state.

Session variables solve this problem by storing user information to be used across multiple pages (e.g.
username, favorite color, etc). By default, session variables last until the user closes the browser.

So; Session variables hold information about one single user, and are available to all pages in one application.

Note: The session_start() function must be the very first thing in your document. Before any HTML tags.

Createsession.php
<?php
// Start the session
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php

// Set session variables


$_SESSION["favcolor"] = "green";
$_SESSION["favanimal"] = "cat";
echo "<h1>Session variables are set.</h1>";
?>
<a href="getinfo.php">GET DATA</a><br><br>
<a href="destroysession.php">DESTROY SESSION</a>
</body>
</html>
getinfo.php:
<?php
session_start();
?>

<html>
<body>

<?php

// Echo session variables that were set on previous page


echo "<h2>Favorite color is " . $_SESSION["favcolor"] ." </h2> <br>";
echo "<h2>Favorite animal is " . $_SESSION["favanimal"] ."</h2>";

?>
</body>
</html>

destroysession.php:

<?php
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<?php
// remove all session variables
session_unset();

// destroy the session


session_destroy();
echo "<h2>session is destroyed</h2>";
?>

</body>
</html>

Php super global variables:

Super Global variables:

$GLOBALS

$_SERVER

$_REQUEST

$_GET // refer passing parameters using get method

$_POST // refer passing parameters using post method

$_FILES // refer file upload program in file handling topic

$_COOKIE // refer cookie topic


$_SESSION // refer session topic

$GLOBALS:

Example:

<?php

$x=10;
$y=20;
function callme()
{
echo "accessed from function:".$GLOBALS['x'];
}
echo "ADD:".($x+$y)."<br>";
callme();
?>

$_SERVER:

<?php

echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

echo "<br>";

echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

echo "<br>";

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

echo "<br>";

echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

echo "<br>";

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

echo "<br>";

echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'];

echo "<br>";

echo $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'];

?>

Output:

/SuperGlobalVariables/servervariable.php
localhost
localhost
/SuperGlobalVariables/servervariable.php
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100
Safari/537.36
GET
80

$_REQUEST:

<?php
$uname=$_REQUEST["t1"]; // t1 is url parameter
$id=$_REQUEST["t2"]; //t2 is url parameter
echo "hai $uname welcome to new world";
?>
