MySQL
 With PHP, you can connect to and manipulate databases.
 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
 MySQL is named after co-founder Monty Widenius's daughter:
My
PHP Connect to MySQL

$conn = new mysqli("hostname", "username", "password", "database");


 The hostname parameter specify the host name (e.g. localhost), or
IP address of the MySQL server,
 the username and password parameters specifies the credentials to access
MySQL server, and
 the database parameter, if provided will specify the default MySQL
database to be used when performing queries.
Dbconnect.php
<?php
$conn=mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'IPDB');
if(!$conn){
die("Error: Can't connect to database!");
}
?>
Create MySQL Database Using MySQLi createDB.php 
<?php
$servername = "localhost"; // Create database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE IPDB";
$username = “root";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
$password = ""; echo "Database created successfully";
$dbname = "myDB"; } else {
// Create connection echo "Error creating database: " .
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $conn->error;
$username, $password,$dbname); }

$conn->close();
if ($conn->connect_error) { ?>
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// (Use your own servername, username and password if they are different.)
// $conn allows us to keep referring to this connection after it is established

Processing form (php code) with insert into save.php

<?php
error_reporting(); $sql = "INSERT INTO student
/* allows you to control how many and which PHP (department,firstname, lastname,
errors will be reported*/ gander,email,password,subjects)
?> VALUES('$dept','$firstname',
<?php '$lastname','$gander','$email','$password',
$conn=mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '', 'IPDB'); '$subjects')";
if(!$conn){ if(mysqli_query($conn, $sql)){
die("Error: Can't connect to database!"); echo "Records added successfully.";
} } else{
echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute
$sql. " . mysqli_error($conn);
if(ISSET($_POST['save'])){
}
$dept = $_POST['dept'];
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
// Close connection
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
mysqli_close($conn);
$gander = $_POST['gander'];
}
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password']; ?>
$subjects=implode(", ", $_POST['subject']);
• Before actually use a database we need to
select it as below
• <?php
– mysql_select_db(“DemoDB”) or die (“Can not
Select Database”);
• ?>
• The die command stops further script
processing with an error message if the
database cannot be selected.
Exercise
Write php code that implements the following
1. Altering Tables
2. Deleting Databases
3. Select Queries
4. Accessing the Result
• In SQL show databases will display all the current databases.
• One way to do the same in PHP is :
<?php
$result = mysql_list_dbs($connect);
for($row=0;$row<mysql_num_rows($result);$row++)
{
$dbases .= mysql_tablename($result,$row) . “<br/>”;
}
echo($dbases);
?>
– Note: mysql_tablename is generalized function for table/dastabase
name
– Note: mysql_tablename is depricated function and should not be used
