Introduction
In this lesson, you will bring together your PHP and
SQL knowledge.
Target:
Script that connects to the dbms & selects a database
Script that creates a database.
 Script that creates a table
Script to insert records in the table created
Script to extract records from the table
Open a Connection to MySQL
 Before we can access database in the MySQL dbms, we need to be able to connect to
the server:
 Connection string:

mysqli_connect(server_name, user_name, password)

 To select an already existing database, u add database name as the 4 th parameter to


the connection string.

mysqli_connect(server_name, user_name, password, db_name)

Note:
 The connection string must be included in every script which intends to interact with the
database.
 The connection string used is for a test environment and not a live server, therefore default
credentials are used.
connect.php
<?php
$sn = "localhost";
$un = "root";
$pass = "";

// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($sn, $un, $pass);

// Check connection
if(!$conn)
{
die('Not Connected!' .mysqli_connect_error());
}
?>
PHP Create a MySQL Database
A database consists of one or more tables.
You will need special CREATE privileges to create or to
delete a MySQL database.
Create a MySQL Database
The CREATE DATABASE statement is used to create a
database in MySQL.
The following examples create a database named “y2023”
In this case we use connect.php on slide-4, note: no
database selection
<?php
//include connection string
include('connect.php');

//create database
$db="CREATE DATABASE y2023";

//execute sql query


$exedb = mysqli_query($conn, $db);

//check successfull db creation


if(!$exedb){
die("Database not created!" .mysqli_error($conn));
}
else{
echo 'Database created!';
}
?>
Note
After successfully creating the database “y2023”, the
connection string must change to include database
selection.
 Note:
For all scripts below, we will include “conn.php” which is
an improvement of the connect.php.
The difference between the two scripts is that in conn.php
we also select the database in addition to connecting to
the DBMS.
conn.php
<?php
$sn = "localhost";
$un = "root";
$pass = "";

$db = “y2023";
// Create connection & select database
$conn = mysqli_connect($sn, $un, $pass, $db);

// Check connection
if(!$conn)
{
die('Not Connected!' .mysqli_connect_error());
}
?>
PHP Create table
<?php
//include connection
include('conn.php');

//create table
$tb="CREATE TABLE Student(
regno VARCHAR(17),
fname VARCHAR(20),
lname VARCHAR(20),
cw INT,
exam INT,
c_code VARCHAR(7),
PRIMARY KEY(regno)
)";

//execute sql query


$exetb = mysqli_query($conn, $tb);

//check successfull db creation


if(!$exetb){
die("Table not created!" .mysqli_error($conn));
}
else{
echo 'Table Student created!';
}
?>
PHP Insert Data Into MySQL
Insert Data Into MySQL database
 After the database and table have been created, we can start
adding data to the table.
Here are some syntax rules to follow:
 The SQL query must be quoted in PHP
 String values inside the SQL query must be quoted
 Numeric values must not be quoted
 The word NULL must not be quoted
The INSERT INTO statement is used to add new records to a
MySQL database table:
 INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)
 OR
 INSERT INTO table_name VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)
in1.php
<?php
//include connection
include('conn.php');

//insert records into the student table


$in="INSERT INTO Student
VALUES(‘22/1/314/D/2309', ‘Anthony', ‘Kilyowa', 23, 33, 'IT201')";

//execute sql query


$exein = mysqli_query($conn, $in);

//check successful record insertion


if(!$exein){
die("Record not added!" .mysqli_error($conn));
}
else{
echo 'One record added to the student table!';
}
?>
Insertion from a form (in2.php)
<?php
//include connection
include('conn.php');

//capture data from the form


$regno=$_POST['regno'];
$fname=$_POST['fname'];
$lname=$_POST['lname'];
$cw=$_POST['cw'];
$exam=$_POST['exam'];
$c_code=$_POST['c_code'];

//insert records into student table


$in="INSERT INTO Student
VALUES('$regno', '$fname', '$lname', $cw, $exam, '$c_code')";
//execute sql query
$exein = mysqli_query($conn, $in);

//check successfull db creation


if(!$exein){
die("Record not added!" .mysqli_error($conn));
}
else{
echo 'One record added to the student table!';
}
?>
HTML Form (post.html)
<form method="post" action=“in2.php">
<table align="left">
<tr>
<td>Registration Number:</td><td><input type="text"
name="regno"></td>
</tr>
<td>First Name:</td><td><input type="text" name="fname"></td>
</tr>
</tr>
<td>Last Name:</td><td><input type="text" name="lname"></td>
</tr>
</tr>
<td>Course Work:</td><td><input type="text" name="cw"></td>
</tr>
</tr>
<td>Exam:</td><td><input type="text"
name="exam"></td>
</tr>
</tr>
<td>Course Code:</td><td><input type="text"
name="c_code"></td>
</tr>
</tr>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align: right;"><input
type="submit" value="Post"> <input type="reset"
value="Delete"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Extraction (sel.php)
<?php
//include connection
include('conn.php');

//extract records
$sel="SELECT * FROM Student";

//execute sql query


$exesel = mysqli_query($conn, $sel);

//check if records exist in the students' table


if(mysqli_num_rows($exesel)>0)
{
while($row=mysqli_fetch_assoc($exesel))
{
//calculate final score as a derived attribute
$fs=$row['cw']+$row['exam'];

//print out records


echo "Registration Number:" .$row['regno']."<br>
First Name:" .$row['fname']."<br>
Last Name:" .$row['lname']."<br>
Course Code:" .$row['c_code']."<br>
Course Work:" .$row['cw']."<br>
Exam:" .$row['exam']."<br>
Final Score:" .$fs. "<br><br>";
}
}
else{
echo 'No records!';
}
?>
Close the Connection
The connection will be closed automatically when the
script ends otherwise you may use the following
function:
mysqli_close();
Example
mysqli_close($conn);
Note that this should come at the very end of your
script.
