PHP Mysql Database Connection

PHP Mysql Database Connection is used to build a connection between the PHP on the server-side and Mysql on the backend.

Understand with Example

The Tutorial illustrate an example from PHP Mysql Database Connection. To understand and grasp the example we create a table 'Stu' with specified fieldnames and datatypes respectively. The table 'Stu' has a primary key id.

Create table Stu:

CREATE TABLE `stu` (                     
          `id` int(11) NOT NULL ,  
          `name` varbinary(10) default NULL,     
          `class` int(11) default NULL,          
          PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)                    
        );

Create table Lib:

The create table is used to create a table 'lib'.

 CREATE TABLE `lib` (
	`Id` int(11) default NULL,
	'libno` int(11) default NULL);

Insert data into Stu:

The insert into adds the records or rows value into table Stu and lib.

INSERT INTO `stu` VALUES (1,'Ajay',12);
INSERT INTO `stu` VALUES (2,'Bhanu',12);
INSERT INTO `stu` VALUES (3,'Komal',12);
INSERT INTO `stu` VALUES (4,'Rakesh',12);
INSERT INTO `stu` VALUES (5,'Santosh',12);
INSERT INTO `stu` VALUES (6,'Tanuj',12);

Insert data into lib:

INSERT INTO `lib` VALUES (1,101);
INSERT INTO `lib` VALUES (2,102);
INSERT INTO `lib` VALUES (3,103);
INSERT INTO `lib` VALUES (4,104);
INSERT INTO `lib` VALUES (5,105);

php_sql_group_by.php:

The PHP server side include the code for server side scripting that is used to connect Mysql database. The server side scripting include a user and password that connect to the database. Before you can access data in a database, you must create a connection to the database.

<?php

$host = "localhost";
$user = "root";
$password = "root";
$database = "komal";

$connection = mysql_connect($host,$user,$password) 
	or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($database,$connection) 
	or die("Error in selecting the database:".mysql_error());

$sql="select s.id,s.name,s.class,l.libno 
	from stu as s left join lib as l on s.id = l.id ";

$sql_result=mysql_query($sql,$connection) 
	or exit("Sql Error".mysql_error());

$sql_num=mysql_num_rows($sql_result);

echo "<table width =\"25%\" bgcolor=\"#F5F5FF\">";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td ><b>Id</b></td> <td><b>Name</b></td> 
		<td><b>Class</b></td><td><b>libno</b></td>";
echo "</tr>";
while($sql_row=mysql_fetch_array($sql_result))
{
	$id=$sql_row["id"];
	$name=$sql_row["name"];
	$class=$sql_row["class"];
	$libno=$sql_row["libno"];

	echo "<tr><td>".$id."</td>";
	echo "<td>".$name."</td>";
	echo "<td>".$class."</td>";
	echo "<td>".$libno."</td></tr>";
}	
echo "</table>"
?>

Result

Id	Name	Class	libno
1	Ajay	12	101
2	Bhanu	12	102
3	Komal	12	105
4	Rakesh	12	103
5	Santosh	12	104
6	Tanuj	12
