Select data From mysql

When you need data from your mysql database to show in your web page, you need to select
database, table and what's row you want to pull its data first.

Syntax
// Select all columns from all rows.
"SELECT * FROM table_name";

or
// Select some column from all rows.
"SELECT column_name1, column_name2 FROM table_name";

or
// Select all coulumns from one row.
"SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name=' value in column '";

Overview
In this tutorial, we'll create only 1 file.
1. select.php
Steps
1. Create table "test_mysql" in database "test".
2. Create file select.php.
3. test it!
If you don't want looping rows in mysql, replace
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
........
<?php
}
mysql_close();
?>

replace with this

$rows=mysql_fetch_array($result);
.........
<?php
mysql_close();
?>

STEP1: Create table "test_mysql"

In this step, you have to create a table and insert data for testing our code.

CREATE TABLE `test_mysql` (

`id` int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
`lastname` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
`email` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=7 ;

// Retrieve data from database
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
?>

<table width="400" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">

STEP3: Run the Code

Insert data into mysql

This tutorial will show you how to insert data into mysql database.

Syntax
"INSERT INTO table_name(column_name1, column_name2)VALUES('value1, 'value2')" ;

Overview
In this tutorial, create 2 files
1. insert.php
2. insert_ac.php
Steps
1. Create table "test_mysql" in database "test".
2. Create file insert.php.
3. Create file insert_ac.php.

STEP1: Create table "test_mysql"

CREATE TABLE `test_mysql` (
`id` int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment,

`name` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',

`lastname` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
`email` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)

) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=0 ;

STEP2: Create file insert.php

Update data in mysql

Update/Edit data from mysql database, can do it easily.

Syntax
"UPDATE table_name SET column_name1=' value', column_name2=' value' WHERE column_name='
value' ";

Overview
In this tutorial, we create 3 PHP files for testing our code.
1. list_records.php
2. update.php
3. update_ac.php
Steps
1. Create table "test_mysql" in database "test"
2. Create file list_records.php
3. Create file update.php
4. Create file update_ac.php

STEP1: Set Up Database

Create database and table using phpMyAdmin

CREATE TABLE `test_mysql` (

`id` int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`name` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
`lastname` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
`email` varchar(65) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=7 ;
