PDO-Insert-Code

To get data from the database, we need to put some data into it. In PDO we use same conventional coding of inserting data, but to execute the query we use PDO::exec method. PDO::exec method returns the number of effected rows which are successfully updated. PDO::exec method should use when SQL statements wont return a result set.

Example:

<?php

header('Content-type:text/plain');

try {

$db = new PDO("pgsql:dbname=ignou;host=localhost", "postgres", "1234" );

echo "connected\n";

$id=5;

$name='prabhat';

$roll=4;

$sql='insert into student(id,name,roll)values ($id,$name,$roll)';

$count=$db->exec("insert into student(id,name,roll)values ('$id','$name','$roll')");

echo "Number of affected rows are:".$count;
