🔧 1.

Create the Database and Table in phpMyAdmin

Open XAMPP → Start Apache and MySQL → Go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin

1. Create a New Database

Once phpMyAdmin opens:

 Click the "New" option in the left sidebar.


 Under "Create database":
o Enter a database name (e.g., studentdb)
o Choose Collation as utf8_general_ci (or leave as default).
 Click Create

✅ You’ve now created a new MySQL database named studentdb.

2. Create a Table inside the Database

After the database is created:

 Click on the newly created database name (e.g., studentdb) from the left panel.
 Under "Create table", enter:
o Table name: students
o Number of columns: 3
 Click Go

3. Define the Table Columns

Fill out the fields as follows:

Column Name Type Length/Values Extra

id INT (leave default) AUTO_INCREMENT (check this)

name VARCHAR 100

email VARCHAR 100

Then:

 Set id as Primary Key (check the box under "A_I" or "Primary").


 Click Save

✅ Table students is now created with columns: id, name, and email.
2. HTML + CSS Form (index.html)

Save this as index.html in your XAMPP htdocs folder (e.g., C:\xampp\htdocs\form\


index.html):

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">

<title>Insert Student</title>

<style>

body { font-family: Arial; background: #f2f2f2; padding: 50px; }

form { background: white; padding: 20px; border-radius: 5px; width: 300px; margin: auto; }

input[type="text"], input[type="email"] {

width: 100%; padding: 10px; margin: 10px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;

input[type="submit"] {

background: #4CAF50; color: white; padding: 10px; border: none; width: 100%;

cursor: pointer;

input[type="submit"]:hover { background: #45a049; }

</style>

</head>

<body>

<h2 align="center">Student Registration</h2>

<form action="insert.php" method="POST">

<label>Name:</label>

<input type="text" name="name" required>


<label>Email:</label>

<input type="email" name="email" required>

<input type="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

</body>

</html>

3. PHP Script (insert.php)

Save this file as insert.php in the same htdocs/form/ folder:

<?php
// Database configuration
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = ""; // default password in XAMPP is empty
$dbname = "studentdb";

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

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

// Get values from form


$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];

// Insert data into database


$sql = "INSERT INTO students (name, email) VALUES ('$name',
'$email')";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {


echo "New record inserted successfully!";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}

$conn->close();
?>
▶️How to Run:

1. Save both files in a folder inside C:\xampp\htdocs\form\


2. Open browser and go to:
http://localhost/form/index.html
3. Fill out the form → Click Submit
4. You should see the success message.
5. Check phpMyAdmin to confirm the data is inserted.
