    Querying a MySQL Database with PHP

    The reason for using PHP as an interface to MySQL is to format the results of SQL queries in a
    form visible in a web page. As long as you can log into your MySQL installation using your
    username and password, you can also do so from PHP. instead of using MySQLs command line
    to enter instructions and view output, you will create query strings that are passed to MySQL.
    When MySQL returns its response, it will come as a data structure that PHP can recognize
    instead of the formatted output you see. PHP commands can retrieve the data and format it for
    the web page.

    The Process
    The process of using MySQL with PHP is:
    1. Connect to MySQL.
    2. Select the database to use.
    3. Build a query string.
    4. Perform the query.
    5. Retrieve the results and output it to a web page.
    6. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 until all desired data have been retrieved.
    7. Disconnect from MySQL.

    Connecting to the Database Server


    Before you can begin working with your database, you must first connect to the server. PHP
    provides the mysql_connect() function to do just this. mysql_connect() does not require any
    arguments but accepts up to three strings: the hostname, a usename, and a password. If you omit
    any or all of these arguments, the function assumes localhost as the host and that no password or
    username has been set up in the mysqluser table, unless defaults have been set up in the php.ini
    file. mysql_connect() returns a link identifier if the connection is successful. You can store this
    return value in a variable so that you can continue to work with the database server.

    The following code fragment uses mysql_connect() to connect to the MySQL database server:
    $link = mysql_connect( "localhost", "root", "n1ckel" );
    if ( ! $link )
    die( "Couldn't connect to MySQL" );

    If you are using PHP in conjunction with Apache, you could also connect to the database server
    with mysql_pconnect().

    Selecting a Database

    Now that we have established a connection to the MySQL daemon, we must choose which
    database we want to work with. You can select a database with the mysql_select_db() function.
    mysql_select_db() requires a database name and optionally accepts a link identifier. If you omit
    this, the identifier returned from the last connection to the server will be assumed.
    mysql_select_db() returns true if the database exists and you are able to access it.
    mysql_select_db( $sample ) or die ( "Couldn't open $sample );
    Finding Out About Errors

    So far we have tested the return values of the MySQL functions that we have used and called
    die() to end script execution if a problem occurs. You might, however, want to print more
    informative error messages to the browser to aid debugging. MySQL sets an error number and an
    error string whenever an operation fails. You can access the error number with mysql_errno(),
    and the error string with mysql_error().

    <html>
    <body>
    <?php
    $user = "root";
    $pass = "";
    $db = "sample";
    $link = mysql_connect( "localhost", $user, $pass );
    if ( ! $link )
    die( "Couldn't connect to MySQL" );
    print "Successfully connected to server<P>";
    mysql_select_db( $db )
    or die ( "Couldn't open $db: ".mysql_error() );
    print "Successfully selected database \"$db\"<P>";
    mysql_close( $link );
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    Adding Data to a Table

    We can add information to one of the tables in the database. we will need to construct and
    execute a SQL query. PHP provides the mysql_query() function for this purpose. mysql_query()
    requires a string containing a SQL query and, optionally, a link identifier. If the identifier is
    omitted, the query is sent to the database server to which you last connected. Mysql_query()
    returns a positive value if the query is successful. If your query contains a syntax error, or if you
    don't have permission to access the database in question, then query() returns false.

    <html>
    <body>
    <?php
    $user = "root";
    $pass = "";
    $db = "sample";
    $link = mysql_connect( "localhost", $user, $pass );
    if ( ! $link )
    die( "Couldn't connect to MySQL" );

    mysql_select_db( $db, $link )


    or die ( "Couldn't open $db: ".mysql_error() );
    $query = "INSERT INTO domains ( domain, sex, mail ) values( '123xyz.com', 'F',
    sharp@adomain.com' )";

    mysql_query( $query, $link )


    or die ( "Couldn't add data to \"domains\" table: " .mysql_error() );
    mysql_close( $link );
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    Finding the Number of Rows Returned by a SELECT Statement with mysql_num_rows()

    <html>
    <body>
    <?php
    $user = "root";
    $pass = "";
    $db = "sample";
    $link = mysql_connect( "localhost", $user, $pass );
    if ( ! $link )
    die( "Couldn't connect to MySQL" );
    mysql_select_db( $db, $link )
    or die ( "Couldn't open $db: ".mysql_error() );
    $result = mysql_query( "SELECT * FROM domains" );
    $num_rows = mysql_num_rows( $result );
    print "There are currently $num_rows rows in the table<P>";
    mysql_close( $link );
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>
