PHP AND MySQL EXAMPLES

PLEASE DONATE AS WORKING OUT THIS CODE TAKES TIME AND HOSTING WEB SITE ALSO COSTS HARD CASH. MOST HOSTS WON'T GIVE YOU THIS CODE. AND MOST WEBSITES HAVE ERRORS BECASUE PHP HAS BEEN UPDATED .

Step 1 - go into you control panel on web Host and create a MySQL database - this will have database_name, user_name, your_password, host will tell you server address.

STEP 2. GO INTO PHP MY ADMIN

RUN A SIMPLE MY SQL QUERY TO CREAT A SIMPLE TABLE - REPLACE DB_NAME WITH NAME OF YOUR DB

USE DB_NAME;

CREATE TABLE contacts
(user_id MEDIUMINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
first VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
last VARCHAR (15) NOT NULL,

PRIMARY KEY(user_id)
);

EXAMPLE OF WHY YOU DONT SENT NULL VALUES TO DATABASE

AUTO-INCREMENT VALUES IN A SQL TABLE

write a simple php file to test connection to the server. STEP 3

<?php

// This file contains the database access information.
// This file also establishes a connection to MySQL
// and selects the database.
// procedural style
// Set the database access information as constants:
//DEFINE ('DB_USER', 'fred');
//DEFINE ('DB_PASSWORD', 'Gol');
//DEFINE ('DB_HOST', 'host.ipagemysql.com');
//DEFINE ('DB_NAME', 'acid');

 

$link = mysqli_connect("server-hostname", "db-username", "password", "db-name");

/* check connection */
if (!$link) {
printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
exit();
}

printf("Host information: %s\n", mysqli_get_host_info($link));

/* close connection */
mysqli_close($link);
?>

LETS NOW GET INFO FROM USER OF WEB SITE AND PUT IT INTO THE TABLE WE CREATED IN STEP 2. HTML FILE BELOW.

<body>

<h1>A small example page to insert some data in to the MySQL database using PHP</h1>

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

Firstname: <input type="text" name="fname" /><br><br>

Lastname: <input type="text" name="lname" /><br><br>

<input type="submit" />

</form>

</body>
</html>

<body>
<html>


PHP INSERT INTO DATABASE FILE BELOW. USE SAME HOST, PASSWORD AND USER NAMES AS IN STEP 3.

<body>

test page

 

<?php

$con = mysql_connect("DB_HOST","DB_USER","DB_PASSWORD");

if (!$con)

{

die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

}

 

mysql_select_db("acid", $con);

 

$sql="INSERT INTO nametable (firstname, lastname)

VALUES

('$_POST[fname]','$_POST[lname]')";

 

if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))

{

die('Error: ' . mysql_error());

}

echo "1 record added";

 

mysql_close($con)

?>

</body>

</html>

 

</body>
</html>


DISPLAY THE DATABASE WE HAVE CREATED. STEP 4 ANOTHER PHP FILE - again put in your values for db_host, db_user and db_password.

<?

$con = mysql_connect("db_host","db_user","db_password");

if (!$con)

{

die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

}

 

mysql_select_db("acid", $con);

 

 

$query="SELECT * FROM nametable";
$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

mysql_close();

echo "<b><center>Database Output</center></b><br><br>";

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {

$firstname=mysql_result($result,$i,"firstname");
$lastname=mysql_result($result,$i,"lastname");

echo "<b>$firstname $lastname</b><br>";

$i++;
}

?>


HOW TO SEARCH THE DATABASE

<?php

/*
localhost - it's location of the mysql server, usually localhost
root - your username
third is your password

if connection fails it will stop loading the page and display an error
*/


/* tutorial_search is the name of database we've created */

$con = mysql_connect("DB_HOST","DB_USER","DB_PASSWORD");

if (!$con)

{

die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

}

 

mysql_select_db("acid", $con);

?>
