MySQL integration in PHP is commonly achieved using MySQLi or PDO (PHP Data
Objects). These extensions allow PHP to interact with a MySQL database. Here's how you
can use them:

1. Using MySQLi (MySQL Improved)

MySQLi supports both procedural and object-oriented programming styles.

Connecting to the Database

php
Copy code
// Procedural
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "database");

if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully";

// Object-Oriented
$conn = new mysqli("localhost", "username", "password", "database");

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

Executing Queries

Example: Select Data

php
Copy code
// Procedural
$result = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM users");

if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo "ID: " . $row["id"] . " - Name: " . $row["name"] . "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}

// Object-Oriented
$result = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM users");
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "ID: " . $row["id"] . " - Name: " . $row["name"] . "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}

Example: Insert Data

php
Copy code
// Procedural
$sql = "INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ('John Doe',
'[email protected]')";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($conn);
}

// Object-Oriented
$sql = "INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ('Jane Doe',
'[email protected]')";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}

Closing the Connection

php
Copy code
// Procedural
mysqli_close($conn);

// Object-Oriented
$conn->close();

2. Using PDO (PHP Data Objects)

PDO provides a flexible and secure way to work with databases.

Connecting to the Database

php
Copy code
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=database", "username",
"password");
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
echo "Connected successfully";
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}

Executing Queries

Example: Select Data

php
Copy code
try {
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM users");
$stmt->execute();

// Set the fetch mode to associative array

$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
foreach ($stmt->fetchAll() as $row) {
echo "ID: " . $row["id"] . " - Name: " . $row["name"] . "<br>";
}
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

Example: Insert Data

php
Copy code
try {
$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES
(:name, :email)");
$stmt->bindParam(':name', $name);
$stmt->bindParam(':email', $email);

// Insert a row
$name = "John Doe";
$email = "[email protected]";
$stmt->execute();

echo "New record created successfully";

} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}

Using Transactions in PDO

php
Copy code
try {
$conn->beginTransaction();

$conn->exec("INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ('Alice',

'[email protected]')");
$conn->exec("INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ('Bob',
'[email protected]')");

$conn->commit();
echo "Transaction completed successfully";
} catch (Exception $e) {
$conn->rollBack();
 echo "Failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}

Closing the Connection

php
Copy code
$conn = null;

3. Choosing Between MySQLi and PDO

Feature MySQLi PDO

Multiple databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Database Support MySQL only
SQLite, etc.)
Object-Oriented Yes Yes
Prepared
Yes Yes
Statements
Named Parameters No Yes
Faster for MySQL-specific
Performance Slightly slower (due to abstraction)
tasks

Best Practices:

 Use prepared statements to prevent SQL injection.

 Always check for errors and handle exceptions.
 Use PDO for portability if you work with multiple database systems.

C is a powerful, general-purpose, procedural programming language that has been widely

used since its creation in the early 1970s by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. It is the foundation
of many modern programming languages like C++, C#, and Java, and is still extensively used
in systems programming, embedded systems, and application development due to its
efficiency and control over hardware.
Key Features of C:

1. Low-Level Access:
C provides low-level access to memory through pointers, making it suitable for
systems programming (e.g., operating systems, drivers).
2. Portability:
Programs written in C are highly portable and can run on various platforms with
minimal changes.
3. Structured Programming:
Supports modular code development using functions, making programs easier to
write, debug, and maintain.
4. Rich Library:
C provides a standard library (e.g., <stdio.h>, <stdlib.h>), offering a wide range
of functions for file handling, memory management, and more.
5. Efficient Execution:
Due to its minimal runtime environment, C programs are fast and efficient.
6. Flexibility:
Allows direct manipulation of hardware resources and writing both high- and low-
level code.

Basic Structure of a C Program:

Every C program must have a main() function as the entry point. Here's a simple example:

c
Copy code
#include <stdio.h> // Include the standard input/output library

int main() {
printf("Hello, World!\n"); // Print a message to the console
return 0; // Indicate successful program termination
}

C Compilation Process:

1. Preprocessing:
The preprocessor handles directives like #include and #define.
2. Compilation:
Converts the source code (.c file) into assembly code.
3. Assembly:
Assembles the assembly code into machine code, generating an object file (.o or
.obj).
4. Linking:
Links object files and libraries to create the final executable.

Command Example (using GCC):

bash
Copy code
gcc program.c -o program
./program

Key Concepts in C:

1. Variables and Data Types:

o Basic Types: int, float, char, double
o Derived Types: Arrays, Pointers, Structures
o Qualifiers: const, volatile, signed, unsigned
2. Control Structures:
o Conditional: if, else, switch
o Loops: for, while, do-while
o Jump Statements: break, continue, goto
3. Functions:
o Reusable blocks of code.
o Supports recursion and passing arguments by value.
4. Pointers:
o Variables that store memory addresses.
o Allow dynamic memory allocation and manipulation.
5. Arrays and Strings:
o Arrays store multiple elements of the same type.
o Strings are arrays of characters terminated by \0.
6. Structures:
o User-defined data types that group related variables.
7. File I/O:
o Functions like fopen(), fread(), fwrite(), and fclose() manage files.

Why Learn C?

 Foundation of Programming: Understanding C helps grasp the core concepts of

computer science and programming.
 System Programming: Ideal for writing operating systems, embedded systems, and
device drivers.
 Performance: Offers fine-grained control over system resources.
 Career Opportunities: Knowledge of C is valuable for roles in systems
programming, embedded development, and performance-critical applications.

Introduction to MySQL in PHP

MySQL is a popular open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) widely

used for web applications. PHP is a server-side scripting language often used for dynamic
web development. Together, PHP and MySQL provide a robust combination for building
database-driven web applications.

Why Use MySQL with PHP?

1. Dynamic Data Management:

PHP enables dynamic interaction with MySQL, allowing you to create, read, update,
and delete (CRUD) data efficiently.
2. Ease of Use:
PHP has built-in extensions like MySQLi and PDO to work seamlessly with MySQL
databases.
3. Scalability:
MySQL supports large datasets and can handle scaling requirements for growing web
applications.
4. Security:
PHP with MySQL supports prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks.

Setting Up PHP with MySQL

Prerequisites:

1. Install a web server (e.g., Apache or Nginx).

2. Install PHP.
3. Install MySQL or MariaDB.
4. Use tools like phpMyAdmin or MySQL Workbench for database management.

Connecting PHP with MySQL:

PHP can connect to MySQL using:

1. MySQLi (MySQL Improved): A PHP extension specific to MySQL.

2. PDO (PHP Data Objects): A database-independent way to connect to MySQL and
other databases.

Example: PHP and MySQL Integration

1. Connect to MySQL Database

Using MySQLi (Procedural):

php
Copy code
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "my_database";

// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>

Using PDO:

php
Copy code
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "my_database";

try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username,
$password);
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
echo "Connected successfully";
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>

2. Perform CRUD Operations

Insert Data:

MySQLi (Procedural):

php
Copy code
<?php
$sql = "INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ('John Doe',
'[email protected]')";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "Record added successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . mysqli_error($conn);
}
?>

PDO:

php
Copy code
<?php
$stmt = $conn->prepare("INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES
(:name, :email)");
$stmt->bindParam(':name', $name);
$stmt->bindParam(':email', $email);

$name = "John Doe";

$email = "[email protected]";
$stmt->execute();

echo "Record added successfully";

?>

Fetch Data:

MySQLi (Procedural):

php
Copy code
<?php
$sql = "SELECT id, name, email FROM users";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo "ID: " . $row["id"] . " - Name: " . $row["name"] . "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "No results found";
}
?>

PDO:

php
Copy code
<?php
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT id, name, email FROM users");
$stmt->execute();

$result = $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
foreach ($stmt->fetchAll() as $row) {
echo "ID: " . $row["id"] . " - Name: " . $row["name"] . "<br>";
}
?>

Update Data:

MySQLi:
php
Copy code
<?php
$sql = "UPDATE users SET email='[email protected]' WHERE name='John
Doe'";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "Record updated successfully";
} else {
echo "Error updating record: " . mysqli_error($conn);
}
?>

PDO:

php
Copy code
<?php
$stmt = $conn->prepare("UPDATE users SET email=:email WHERE name=:name");
$stmt->bindParam(':email', $email);
$stmt->bindParam(':name', $name);

$email = "[email protected]";
$name = "John Doe";
$stmt->execute();

echo "Record updated successfully";

?>

Delete Data:

MySQLi:

php
Copy code
<?php
$sql = "DELETE FROM users WHERE name='John Doe'";
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
echo "Record deleted successfully";
} else {
echo "Error deleting record: " . mysqli_error($conn);
}
?>

PDO:

php
Copy code
<?php
$stmt = $conn->prepare("DELETE FROM users WHERE name=:name");
$stmt->bindParam(':name', $name);

$name = "John Doe";

$stmt->execute();

echo "Record deleted successfully";

?>
3. Close the Database Connection

MySQLi:

php
Copy code
<?php
mysqli_close($conn);
?>

PDO:

php
Copy code
<?php
$conn = null;
?>

Best Practices:

1. Use prepared statements to prevent SQL injection.

2. Validate and sanitize user inputs before using them in queries.
3. Use PDO for multi-database support.
4. Catch errors and exceptions to improve debugging and user experience.
