PHP Database Connectivity Basics
PHP Database Connectivity Basics
Hey GPT act as my PHP teacher who is expert in database connectivity. So please teach me
Memory updated
Sure! Let's start by covering the basics of PHP database connectivity, focusing on MySQL, which is one
of the most common databases used with PHP. Here’s a structured approach to understanding the
topic:
To connect PHP to a MySQL database, we can use either MySQLi (improved MySQL) or PDO (PHP Data
Objects). Both have their advantages:
MySQLi is good if you're working with MySQL databases only and offers both procedural and
object-oriented approaches.
PDO is more flexible since it supports different database systems (not just MySQL) and uses
object-oriented programming.

Creating a Sample Table
sql
php
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = ""; // XAMPP/WAMP often uses empty password by default
$database = "my_database";
// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $database);
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully!";
?>
php
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "my_database";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $database);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 2/37
echo "Connected successfully!";
?>
Inserting Data
php
<?php
$sql = "INSERT INTO users (username, email) VALUES ('JohnDoe', '[email protected]')";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($conn);
}
?>
Fetching Data
php
<?php
$sql = "SELECT id, username, email FROM users";
$result = mysqli_query($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["username"]. " - Email: " .
$row["email"]. "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
?>
PDO allows you to work with databases in an object-oriented way. Here’s how you can use it:
php
<?php
$dsn = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=my_database";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
try {
$conn = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password);
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
echo "Connected successfully!";
} catch(PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();

5. Best Practices
php
Prepared Statements: For security (to prevent SQL injection), always use prepared statements
when working with user input.
Let me know if you want to dive deeper into any specific part of PHP database connectivity or work
with queries and prepared statements!
Let’s create a simple form in HTML that collects user data (username and email) and then connects to
a MySQL database using PHP to insert that data. I’ll show you both the HTML form and the PHP script
to handle the submission.
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>User Registration</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>User Registration Form</h2>
<form action="submit.php" method="POST">
<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" required><br><br>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required><br><br>

</html>
php
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "my_database";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $database);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
Explanation of `submit.php`:
3. Prepared Statement: We use a prepared statement to safely insert data into the database,
which helps prevent SQL injection.
4. Execution and Feedback: We execute the statement and provide feedback on whether the
operation was successful.
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 5/37
Step 3: Testing the Application
1. Place both files (`form.html` and `submit.php`) in your local server’s root directory (e.g., `htdocs`
in XAMPP).
2. Open `form.html` in your web browser.
3. Fill in the form and click "Register".
4. You should see a success message if the insertion was successful.
Additional Notes
Ensure the database and table (e.g., `users`) exist as mentioned earlier.
You can enhance the form by adding validations and styling as needed.
For XAMPP, make sure both Apache and MySQL services are started.
For WAMP, check if the icon is green (indicating that all services are running).
sql
Ensure that the PHP files (`form.html` and `submit.php`) are correctly set up and saved without any
syntax errors. Here's a recap:

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

4. Error Reporting in PHP
To get more insight into the error, enable error reporting in your PHP script. Add the following lines at
the top of `submit.php`:
php
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
Make sure you're accessing the form via your local server, like this:
arduino
http://localhost/form.html
To isolate the issue, try running a simple test script to check the database connection. Create a file
named `test.php`:
php
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "my_database";
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully!";
$conn->close();
?>
7. Common Issues
Try these steps and let me know if you still encounter issues!

I'm getting this error "Warning: mysqli::__construct(): (HY000/2002): No connection could be made
because the target machine actively refused it in C:\xampp\htdocs\appointment.php on line 11"
resolve it
in below code:
<?php
$name = $_POST['pname'];
$email = $_POST['pemail'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$doctor = $_POST['pdoctor'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
$time= $_POST['time'];
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli('localhost','root','','hospital');
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed:" .$conn->connect_error);
}
else{
$stmt=$conn->prepare("insert into appointments(pname,pemail,phone,pdoctor,date,time)
values(?,?,?,?,?,?)");
$stmt->bind_param("ss",$name,$email,$phone,$doctor,$date,$time);
$stmt->execute();
echo"Appointment Successfully........";
$stmt->close();
$conn->close();
?>
The error you're encountering, `(HY000/2002): No connection could be made because the target
machine actively refused it`,typically indicates that your PHP script is unable to connect to the
MySQL server. Here are several steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
Open the XAMPP Control Panel and check that the MySQL service is running. If it’s not, start it.
By default, MySQL runs on port 3306. If you've changed the default port or if another application is
using it, you may need to specify the port in your connection string:

php
3. Firewall Settings
Sometimes, firewall settings may block connections to the MySQL server. Make sure that your firewall
allows connections to port 3306. You may need to create a rule to allow incoming connections.
If MySQL is configured to listen on a specific IP address, ensure it's set to `127.0.0.1` or `localhost`.
You can check this in the MySQL configuration file (`my.cnf` or `my.ini`):
ini
[mysqld]
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
Create a simple test script to check if you can connect to the database:
php
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "hospital";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $database);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully!";
$conn->close();
?>
Visit this script in your browser (e.g., `http://localhost/test.php`) to see if you can establish a
connection.
If the above steps don't resolve the issue, check the MySQL error logs for any errors that might
provide more insight. The logs can typically be found in the `mysql/data` directory of your XAMPP
installation.

7. Reinstall XAMPP (as a Last Resort)
If none of the above solutions work, you might consider reinstalling XAMPP to ensure that all
components are correctly set up.
In your original code, ensure that the `bind_param` method matches the number of variables you're
binding. Here’s the corrected line:
php
php
<?php
$name = $_POST['pname'];
$email = $_POST['pemail'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$doctor = $_POST['pdoctor'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
$time = $_POST['time'];
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'hospital');
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
} else {
$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO appointments (pname, pemail, phone, pdoctor, date,
time) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
$stmt->bind_param("ssssis", $name, $email, $phone, $doctor, $date, $time);
$stmt->execute();
echo "Appointment Successfully...";
$stmt->close();
$conn->close();
}
?>
Try these suggestions and let me know if you still face issues!
Hey GPT, I want to create a login dashboard in which if the doctor login's then he can access all
the reports of the patients and if the patient login's then he can only access his details or reports.
How I can implement it
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 11/37
To implement a login dashboard where different user roles (doctors and patients) have varying
access to information, you'll need to:
1. Database Structure
Table: `users`
sql
Table: `patients`
sql
Table: `reports`
sql
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 12/37
FOREIGN KEY (patient_id) REFERENCES patients(id)

<h2>Login</h2>
<form action="dashboard.php" method="POST">
<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" required><br><br>
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" required><br><br>
php
<?php
session_start();
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "hospital";
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
if ($stmt->num_rows > 0) {
$stmt->bind_result($user_id, $role, $hashed_password);
$stmt->fetch();
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 13/37
$_SESSION['role'] = $role;
$stmt->close();
}
$conn->close();
?>
3. Doctor Dashboard
This page allows doctors to view all patients' reports. The doctor needs to be logged in and have the
correct role.
`doctor_dashboard.php`:
php
<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['user_id']) || $_SESSION['role'] != 'doctor') {
header("Location: login.php");
exit;
}
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "hospital";
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
echo "<h2>Patient Reports</h2>";
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "Patient: " . $row["name"] . "<br>";
echo "Report: " . $row["report_details"] . "<br>";
echo "Date: " . $row["report_date"] . "<br><hr>";
}
} else {
echo "No reports found.";
}

$conn->close();
?>
4. Patient Dashboard
`patient_dashboard.php`:
php
<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['user_id']) || $_SESSION['role'] != 'patient') {
header("Location: login.php");
exit;
}
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "hospital";
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
echo "<h2>Your Reports</h2>";
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "Report: " . $row["report_details"] . "<br>";
echo "Date: " . $row["report_date"] . "<br><hr>";
}
} else {
echo "No reports found.";
}
$stmt->close();
$conn->close();
?>
5. Password Hashing
Make sure to hash the passwords when users register, and verify them during login:
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 15/37
php
php
if (password_verify($password, $hashed_password)) {
// Password is correct
}
Additional Features
Registration System: You could implement a registration system that assigns roles (doctor or
patient) during signup.
Session Security: Always ensure proper session handling (e.g., regenerate session IDs after
login to prevent session hijacking).
Let me know if you'd like further clarification or assistance with any part of the implementation!
now i want to create a registration form for the registration of the patient & doctors
To create a registration form for both patients and doctors, you will need to:
Steps:
Create a registration form (`register.php`) where users can select their role (either "doctor" or
"patient") and fill in their details.
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Registration Form</title>
</head>
<body>
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 16/37
<h2>Registration Form</h2>
<form action="register_user.php" method="POST">
<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="username" required><br><br>
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input type="email" id="email" name="email" required><br><br>
<label for="phone">Phone:</label>
<input type="text" id="phone" name="phone" required><br><br>
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" required><br><br>
You will now write the PHP script (`register_user.php`) that captures the form data and inserts it into
the `users` and `patients` (for patients) or `doctors` (for doctors) tables.
php
<?php
// Start the session
session_start();
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "hospital";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $database);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
// Capture form data
$username = $_POST['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$role = $_POST['role'];
if ($stmt->execute()) {
// Get the last inserted user ID
$user_id = $stmt->insert_id;
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 17/37
if ($role == "patient") {
// If the role is 'patient', insert into the `patients` table
$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO patients (user_id, name, email, phone)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
$stmt->bind_param("isss", $user_id, $username, $email, $phone);
} else if ($role == "doctor") {
// If the role is 'doctor', insert into the `doctors` table (create a similar
table for doctors)
$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO doctors (user_id, name, email, phone)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)");
$stmt->bind_param("isss", $user_id, $username, $email, $phone);
}
if ($stmt->execute()) {
echo "Registration successful!";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $stmt->error;
}
} else {
echo "Error: " . $stmt->error;
}
$stmt->close();
$conn->close();
}
?>
3. Database Tables
To store both patients and doctors separately, you need two tables:
Table: `users`
This stores the common data for both patients and doctors (username, password, role).
sql
Table: `patients`
sql
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 18/37
Table: `doctors`
This stores doctor-specific information (you can customize this table further).
sql
5. Further Considerations
Password hashing: Passwords should always be hashed using `password_hash()` and verified
during login using `password_verify()`.
Validation: Add form validation on both the front end and back end to ensure valid input (e.g.,
email format, password length).
Security: Always sanitize and validate user inputs to prevent SQL Injection attacks.
Let me know if you'd like to add more features or further clarify any part of this!
Now give me complete process for the execution of RBAC from registration to accessing data
To implement Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for your login dashboard, where doctors can access
all patients' data and patients can only access their own data, you'll need to follow these steps:

Registration Form
Create a registration form where users (doctors or patients) can register. This form will capture user
details and their role (doctor or patient).

Explanation:
`users` table: Contains usernames, hashed passwords, and roles (`doctor` or `patient`).
John Doe and Emily Clark are registered as doctors.
Jane Smith and Robert Brown are registered as patients.
`patients` table: Links user IDs to patient details. The `user_id` corresponds to the user in the
`users` table.
Jane Smith and Robert Brown are patients.
`doctors` table: Links user IDs to doctor details. The `user_id` corresponds to the user in the
`users` table.
John Doe and Emily Clark are doctors.
This data can be inserted into the tables using SQL commands in your database to test the system.
I want to create a website in which all this happens and doctor can access patient's all report and
patient also can access it.

4. Styling (`styles.css`)
Add some basic styling to your site using a CSS file (`assets/styles.css`) to make it visually appealing.
5. Execution Steps
1. Set up the MySQL database with the tables (`users`, `patients`, `doctors`, `reports`).
2. Create a directory structure with the files listed above.
3. Set up XAMPP or a similar local server to run your PHP code.
4. Place the project in the `htdocs` folder and visit `http://localhost/hospital_management`.
5. Register as a doctor or patient, login, and test the functionality.
This basic structure provides the foundation for role-based access control, allowing doctors and
patients to access reports according to their roles. You can further enhance it with additional security
features, file validations, and error handling.
To integrate Razorpay as a payment gateway into your website, you can follow these steps. Razorpay
offers a simple API and SDK to make this process easy. Below is a guide to integrating Razorpay into
your PHP-based website.
bash
Alternatively, you can manually download the SDK from Razorpay GitHub Repository.
3. Create the Payment Form: You will need a form on your website where users can initiate the
payment. This form collects the amount and triggers the Razorpay payment popup.
html
Backend PHP code (charge.php) for generating the order and handling the payment.
php
<?php
require('vendor/autoload.php'); // Assuming you installed via Composer
use Razorpay\Api\Api;
$apiKey = "YOUR_RAZORPAY_KEY_ID";
$apiSecret = "YOUR_RAZORPAY_KEY_SECRET";
// Create order
$orderData = [
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 32/37
'receipt' => 3456, // Unique order ID for your reference
'amount' => 1000 * 100, // Amount in paise (₹10)
'currency' => 'INR',
'payment_capture' => 1 // Auto capture payment
];
$razorpayOrder = $api->order->create($orderData);
$razorpayOrderId = $razorpayOrder['id'];
$_SESSION['razorpay_order_id'] = $razorpayOrderId; // Store the order ID for later
use
<script src="https://checkout.razorpay.com/v1/checkout.js"
data-key="YOUR_RAZORPAY_KEY_ID"
data-amount="1000" // Amount in paise
data-currency="INR"
data-order_id="<?php echo $razorpayOrderId; ?>" // Generated order ID from
backend
data-buttontext="Pay with Razorpay"
data-name="Your Website Name"
data-description="Payment for Your Service"
data-image="https://your-logo-url.com/logo.png"
data-prefill.name="Customer Name"
data-prefill.email="[email protected]"
data-theme.color="#F37254">
</script>
5. Handle Payment Success and Failure: Once the payment is processed, Razorpay will redirect
back to your website with the payment details. You need to verify the payment and store it in
your database.
php
<?php
require('vendor/autoload.php'); // Assuming you installed via Composer
use Razorpay\Api\Api;
session_start();
$apiKey = "YOUR_RAZORPAY_KEY_ID";
$apiSecret = "YOUR_RAZORPAY_KEY_SECRET";
$success = false;
try {
// Verify the signature
$api->utility->verifyPaymentSignature($params);
$success = true;
} catch (Exception $e) {
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 33/37
$success = false;
}
if ($success) {
echo "Payment successful!";
// You can store payment details in your database
} else {
echo "Payment failed!";
}
?>
Email Notifications: Send an email confirmation to the user after successful payment.
Database Record: Store payment information (transaction ID, order ID, amount) in your
database for future reference.
UI Enhancements: Improve the form design and user experience by adding CSS styles and
JavaScript validations.
8. Going Live:
Once you've completed testing, switch from Test Mode to Live Mode in your Razorpay
dashboard.
Replace your Test API keys with Live API keys.
By following these steps, you'll have successfully integrated Razorpay into your PHP website to enable
secure payments!
To implement a login functionality with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for doctors and patients in
your system, the hierarchy for the login functionality should follow a structured process. Below is a
step-by-step guide to the hierarchy and workflow.
1. Database Design
Users Table: This stores the general login information (like email, password, and role) for both
patients and doctors.
Patients Table: Specific information for patients, such as medical records, reports, etc.
Doctors Table: Specific information for doctors, such as credentials, specialization, etc.
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 34/37
Reports Table: Stores patient medical reports, with access control to ensure that only the correct
doctor or patient can view/edit these records.
Table Columns
`users` `id`, `name`, `email`, `password`, `role (patient/doctor)`
Registration Form: A common registration form where both doctors and patients can register.
Based on the role, different fields and validation rules will apply.
Save in Database: On form submission, the system saves the data in the `users` table and
either the `patients` or `doctors` table depending on the role chosen during registration.
Password Hashing: Hash the password using a secure algorithm like `bcrypt` before saving it in
the `users` table.
3. Login Process
Login Form: A single login form where the user enters their email and password.
User Authentication:
Check if the entered email exists in the `users` table.
Verify the password using the hashed password stored in the database.
Check the user's role (`doctor` or `patient`).
Redirect them to the appropriate dashboard based on the role.
4. Doctor Dashboard
View Patient Reports: The doctor can view all patient reports assigned to them.
Manage Reports: Doctors can upload new reports, update existing ones, and view a patient’s
medical history.
List of Patients: Doctors have access to a list of patients they are assigned to.
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 35/37
Permissions: Doctors can only access and manage the reports of patients assigned to them.
List of patients.
View, add, or update reports for a patient.
Review patient history.
5. Patient Dashboard
View Own Reports: The patient can only access their own medical reports.
Manage Profile: Patients can update their contact information and view their medical history.
Permissions: Patients can only view their own data and cannot view other patients' data.
php
7. Session Management
Session Example:
Printed using Save ChatGPT as PDF, powered by PDFCrowd HTML to PDF API. 36/37
php
// Start session
session_start();
// On successful login
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $user['id'];
$_SESSION['role'] = $user['role'];
8. Logout Process
A logout button that destroys the session and logs the user out.
Ensure proper session management to prevent unauthorized access after logout.
php
session_start();
session_destroy();
header("Location: login.php");
By following this hierarchy, you can implement a secure, functional login system with role-based
access for doctors and patients on your website.
