• PHP provides mysql_connect function to open a
database connection. This function takes five parameters

and returns a MySQL link identifier on success, or FALSE
on failure.
• connection
mysql_connect(server,user,passwd,new_link,client_flag);
Parameter & Description
server
Optional − The host name running database server. If not specified then default value is localhost:3306.
user
Optional − The username accessing the database. If not specified then default is the name of the user that owns the server process.
passwd
Optional − The password of the user accessing the database. If not specified then default is an empty password.
new_link
Optional − If a second call is made to mysql_connect() with the same arguments, no new connection will be established; instead, the
identifier of the already opened connection will be returned.
client_flags
Optional − A combination of the following constants −
•MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL − Use SSL encryption
•MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS − Use compression protocol
•MYSQL_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE − Allow space after function names
•MYSQL_CLIENT_INTERACTIVE − Allow interactive timeout seconds of inactivity before closing the connection
• <?php

• ?>
• Using MySQLi object-oriented procedure: We can use the
MySQLi object-oriented procedure to establish a connection
to MySQL database from a PHP script.
• Syntax:
• <?php
• $servername = "localhost";
• $username = "username";
• $password = "password";
• // Creating connection
• $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);

•}
• echo "Connected successfully";
• $conn->close();
• ?>
• PHP uses mysql_query function to create a MySQL
database. This function takes two parameters and
returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
• bool mysql_query( sql, connection );
Sr.No Parameter & Description

1 sql

Optional - if not specified then last opend connection by
mysql_connect will be used.

database. It returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
• bool mysql_select_db( db_name, connection );
Sr.No Parameter & Description

PHP mysql_fetch_row() Function
• mysql_fetch_row() fetches one row of data from the
result associated with the specified result identifier. The
row is returned as an array. Each result column is stored
in an array offset, starting at offset 0.
• <?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id,email FROM people W
HERE id = '42'");
if (!$result) {
echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();
exit;
}

b");

• }
• $result -> free_result();
•}
• $mysqli -> close();
• ?>
• Mysqli_fetch_assoc()
• Fetch a result row as an associative array.This
function will return a row as an associative array
where the column names will be the keys storing
corresponding value.
• PHP mysql_fetch_array() Function
• Fetch a result row as an associative array, a numeric
array and also it fetches by both associative &
numeric array.
• <?php
• $con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","test");
• if (mysqli_connect_errno())
• {
• echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
• }
• $result = mysqli_query($con,"select * from user");
• while ($rows = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
• {

• echo $rows['name']; echo " ";
• echo $rows['email']; echo " ";
• echo $rows['contactno']; echo " ";
• echo $rows['addrss']; echo " ";
• echo $rows['posting_date']; echo " ";

• ?>
• <?php
• $con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","test");
• if (mysqli_connect_errno())
• {
• echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
• }

• echo $rows['email']; echo " ";
• echo $rows['contactno']; echo " ";

• echo $rows['posting_date']; echo " ";
• /* Now here both associative array and numeric array will work. */
• echo $rows[0]; echo " "; echo $rows[1]; echo " ";
• }
• ?>
mysql_result()
• mysql_result ( resource $result , int $row [, mixed $field = 0 ] )
• Retrieves the contents of one cell from a MySQL result set.
• <?php
• $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
• if (!$link) {
• }
• if (!mysql_select_db('database_name')) {
• die('Could not select database: ' . mysql_error());
• }
• $result = mysql_query('SELECT name FROM work.employee');
• if (!$result) {
• die('Could not query:' . mysql_error());
• }
• echo mysql_result($result, 2); // outputs third employee's name
• mysql_close($link);
• ?>
• mysql_list_fields():- call this function to get
information on table fields. It makes three
arguments ( a database name, a table name, and
an optional link identifier) and returns a result
pointer that refers to a list of all the fields in the
specified database.
• mysql_num_fields():- this takes a result pointer (as
returned by the preceding function) and returns
the total number of fields from the result set to
which it points.
• <?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT id,email FROM peo
ple WHERE id = '42'");
if (!$result) {
echo 'Could not run query: ' . mysql_error();
exit;
}
/* returns 2 because id,email === two fields */

echo mysql_num_fields($result);
?>
