PHP for Database Access
Connect to the MySQL server
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost",
$username, $password);
Access the database
mysql_select_db("winestore", $connection);
Perform SQL operations
Disconnect from the server
mysql_close($connection);
Prof. Rama Satish K V, Asst. Professor, RNSIT, Bengaluru
Error Handling
All mysql_ functions return NULL (or
false) if they fail.
Several functions are helpful in graceful
failure
die(string) - halts and displays the string
mysql_errno() - returns number of error
mysql_error() - returns text of error

Prof. Rama Satish K V, Asst. Professor, RNSIT, Bengaluru


Error Handling examples
if (!($connection = mysql_connect("localhost",$name,$passwd)))
die("Could not connect");

function showerror()
{
die("Error " . mysql_errno() . " : " . mysql_error());
}

if (!(mysql_select_db("winestor", $connection)))
showerror();

Building a Query
Directly
$query = 'select * from wines';

Using input information


$winery = $_POST['winery'];
$query = select * from wines where winery=$winery;

Prof. Rama Satish K V, Asst. Professor, RNSIT, Bengaluru


Running a Query
mysql_query returns a result handle
$result = mysql_query($query, $connection)
mysql_num_rows indicates the number of
rows returned
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result)
mysql_fetch_array creates array/hash of
result
For ($n=0; $n<$num_rows;$n++)
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result)
Prof. Rama Satish K V, Asst. Professor, RNSIT, Bengaluru
Result of fetch_array
Contains both numeric and index tags
Values are duplicated
Example:
Query: select surname, city from customers;
Row: ( 0=>'Walker', surname=>'Walker',
1=>'Kent', 'city'=>'Kent' );

Prof. Rama Satish K V, Asst. Professor, RNSIT, Bengaluru


Printing the Complete Row
By number
for ($i=0; $i<mysql_num_fields($result); $i++)
echo $row[$i] . " ";
By field
echo $row['surname'] . ' ' . $row['city'];

Prof. Rama Satish K V, Asst. Professor, RNSIT, Bengaluru


PHP / Form in one Document
Combine the original form with the PHP
document that processes data

if empty($regionName)) { //parameter provided?


//produce the <form>
}
else {
//run the query using data from $_GET or $_POST
}
Prof. Rama Satish K V, Asst. Professor, RNSIT, Bengaluru
Inserting Into a Database
Collect data from a form
Validate data (JavaScript, PHP or both)
Create a query
$query = "insert into customer set cust_id =
NULL, " . "surname =\"" . $surname ."\""
Run the query
mysql_query($query, $db);

Prof. Rama Satish K V, Asst. Professor, RNSIT, Bengaluru


Updating a Database

Present old information
Collect new information
Validate
Construct and run the update query
