PHP Mysql Manual

The document discusses PHP and MySQL. It begins with slides about handling forms and parsing data in C versus Perl and PHP. PHP is shown to take an HTML-centric approach where logic is added minimally between HTML blocks. Examples are provided of connecting to MySQL from PHP, creating databases and tables, and inserting data using SQL queries. The document emphasizes that PHP makes it easy to build web applications that interface with databases.

PHP MySQL Conference April 10, 2003. San Jose Rasmus Lerdorf http://lerdorf.com/mysqlconf.pdf Slide 1/51 The Good Old Days April 10, 2003 Handling simple data coming from a form took something like this to do in C: #include #include #include #include #define ishex(x) (((x) >= '0" @& (x) <= 19") || ((x) >= tal a6 Ge) <= TET) (be) >= TAN aS (x) <= TEN) int htot(char *s) { int value; char cy ce = sl0l; Lf (Lsupper (c)) © = tolower(c); value=(c >= '0' 4 ¢ <= 199 7c ~ "0! te ~ tat + 10) * 16; © = s(ll: Lf (1supper (c)) ¢ = tolower(c); value $= >= '0" && c <= 19" 2 e- tO" te tat + 10; return (value); ) void main(int argc, char *argv[]) { char params, data, dest, s, *tmp; char name, age; puts "Content-type: text/htm1\r\n"); puts ("Form Example") ; puts ("My Example Form"); puts ("
") ; puts("Name: ") ; puts("Age: "); puts("
"); puts ("
"); data = getenv ("QUERY_STRING"); if(data 4& *data) { params = data; dest while(*data) { if(data=='+") dest="; else if (data == '%' 4& ishex((data+1))4éishex(*(data+2)}) { tdest = (char) htoi(data + 1); data: } else dest = data; datat+; dest++; data; ) tdest_ = '\0"; 5 = strtok (params, "6"); do ( tmp = strchr(s," af(emp) { Emp = 1\0"; if (Istrenp(S,"name")) name = tmptl; else f(istrémp(s,"age")) age = emptl; dM } } while (s=strtok (NULL, "6")); print£("Hi s, you are s years old\n",name, age); ) puts ("") ; Slide 2/51 April 10, 2003 The Perl alternative Perl became an obvious choice because it was made for text processing. The same thing in Perl using CGLpm: use CGI qui: print header, print start_html (‘Form Example"), ‘AL('My Example Form'), start_form, 7", textfield('name'), andard) ; , textfield (tage'), end_form; if(param()) | print "ii ",em(param('name')), You are ",em(param("age'}), "years old"; ) print end_ptml; Much easier both to read and to write, at least to people with a bit of a programming background.
