Connecting to MySQL • Note: you need to make sure that you have MySQL software properly installed on your computer before you attempt to make a connection. You also need to have a user name and password. • Syntax for connecting to a database is: • $dbc = mysql_connect (‘localhost’, ‘username’, ‘password’); • Once you are done working with the DB close the connection: • mysql_close();

MySQL Error Handling • Common errors you will encounter are: • Failure to connect to MySQL • Failure in selecting a database • Inability to run a query • No results being returned by a query • Data not being inserted into a table • Using mysql_error() function returns a textual version of the error that the MySQL server returned: • Die (‘<p>Could not connect to MySQL because:<b>’. Mysql_error() . ‘</b></p>’);
Creating and Selecting a Databse • To create a database with PHP use: • mysql_query(‘CREATE DATABASE mydatabase’); • To select the database use: • Mysql_select_db(‘mydatabase’);

Retrieving Data from a Database • Retrieved information must be assigned to a variable: $query = ‘SELECT * FROM tablename’; • You may use the WHERE clause to restrict which records to be retrieved:$query = ‘SELECT Lname, Fname FROM employees WHERE (dept = ‘sales’);

Deleting Data • The syntax is: DELETE FROM tablename WHERE column=value LIMIT 1; • Function mysql_affected_rows() returns the number of rows affected by an insert, delete or update query.

Updating Data in a Database • WHERE clause must be used or all the records in the database will be updated. • If the values are strings they should be placed between single quotation marks.
