    Unit 4 Connecting to Databases
    • What is MySQL?
    • MySQL is the most popular open-source database system. MySQL is a
    database.
    • The data in MySQL is stored in database objects called tables.
    • A table is a collections of related data entries and it consists of
    columns and rows. Databases are useful when storing information
    categorically. A company may have a database with the following
    tables: "Employees", "Products", "Customers" and "Orders".
    Connecting to an existing Database
    Before we can access data in the MySQL database, we need to be able to connect to the server:
    <?php
    $servername = "localhost";
    $username = "username";
    $password = "password";
    $dbname=“name of database”;

    // Create connection
    $conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password,$dbname);

    // Check connection
    if ($conn) {
       echo "Connected successfully";  
    }
    else{ echo “not connected”;}
    ?>
    …Cont…
    • The connection will be closed automatically when the script ends. To
    close the connection before, use the following:

    mysqli_close($conn);

    Sending Data to Database;

    • After a database and a table have been created, we can start adding data in
    them.
    • Here are some syntax rules to follow:
    The SQL query must be quoted in PHP
    String values inside the SQL query must be quoted
    The word NULL must not be quoted
    • The INSERT INTO statement is used to add new records to a MySQL
    table:
    $query=“INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...)
    VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)”;
    Retrieving data from database
    • Select Data From a MySQL Database
    • The SELECT statement is used to select data from one or more tables:
    SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name
    • or we can use the * character to select ALL columns from a table:
    SELECT * FROM table_name
    Modify existing Data
    • The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a table:
    • UPDATE table_name SET column1=value, column2=value2,...
    WHERE some_column=some_value 
    • Note the where close specifies which record/s should be updated.
    Removing existing Data
    • The DELETE statement is used to delete records from a table:
    • DELETE FROM table_name
    WHERE some_column = some_value
    example
    $sql = "DELETE FROM MyGuests WHERE id=3";

    if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
        echo "Record deleted successfully";
    } else {
        echo "Error deleting record: " . mysqli_error($conn);
    }
