PHP AND MYSQL

PHP is the most popular scripting language for web development. It

is free, open source and server-side (the code is executed on the
server).
MySQL is a freely available open source Relational Database
Management System (RDBMS) that uses Structured Query
Language (SQL). SQL is the most popular language for adding,
accessing and managing content in a database. It is most noted for its
quick processing, proven reliability, ease and flexibility of use.
PHP + MySQL Database System
PHP combined with MySQL are cross-platform (you can develop in
Windows and serve on a Unix platform)

<?php
// we connect to example.com and port 3307
$link = mysql_connect('example.com:3307', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
// we connect to localhost at port 3307
$link = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1:3307', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

 MySQLi extension (the "i" stands for improved)

PDO (PHP Data Objects)

Open a Connection to MySQL

Example (MySQLi Object-Oriented)
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>

Example (MySQLi Procedural)

<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
// Create connection
$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
echo "Connected successfully";
?>

Example (PDO)
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=myDB", $username,
$password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE,
PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
echo "Connected successfully";
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>

Close the Connection

The connection will be closed automatically when the script ends. To close
the connection before, use the following:
Example (MySQLi Object-Oriented)
$conn->close();
Example (MySQLi Procedural)
mysqli_close($conn);
Example (PDO)
$conn = null;

Create a MySQL Database

Example (MySQLi Object-oriented)
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
// Create database
$sql = "CREATE DATABASE myDB";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "Database created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error creating database: " . $conn->error;
}
$conn->close();
?>

Create a MySQL Table Using MySQLi

SYNATX:
CREATE TABLE MyGuests (
id INT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
firstname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
reg_date TIMESTAMP
)
// sql to create table
$sql = "CREATE TABLE MyGuests (
id INT(6) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
firstname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
lastname VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(50),
reg_date TIMESTAMP
)";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "Table MyGuests created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error creating table: " . $conn->error;
}

Insert Data Into MySQL Using MySQLi

Here are some syntax rules to follow:
The SQL query must be quoted in PHP
String values inside the SQL query must be quoted
Numeric values must not be quoted
The word NULL must not be quoted
SYNATX:
INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)
$sql = "INSERT INTO MyGuests (firstname, lastname, email)
VALUES ('John', 'Doe', 'john@example.com')";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "New record created successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}

Select Data From a MySQL Database

SYNTAX

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
$sql = "SELECT id, firstname, lastname FROM MyGuests";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Name: " . $row["firstname"]. " " .
$row["lastname"]. "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}

Delete Data From a MySQL Table Using MySQLi

The DELETE statement is used to delete records from a table:
SYNTAX
DELETE FROM table_name WHERE some_column = some_value
// sql to delete a record
$sql = "DELETE FROM MyGuests WHERE id=3";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "Record deleted successfully";
} else {
echo "Error deleting record: " . $conn->error;
}

Update Data In a MySQL Table Using MySQLi and PDO

The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a table:
SYNTAX
UPDATE table_name SET column1=value, column2=value2,...
WHERE some_column=some_value
$sql = "UPDATE MyGuests SET lastname='Doe' WHERE id=2";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "Record updated successfully";
} else {
echo "Error updating record: " . $conn->error;
}

Basically when you run httpClient.execute it will return a response, you need
to use that response.
Client side:
HttpResponse resp = httpClient.execute( post );
DataInputStream is = new DataInputStream( resp.getEntity().getContent() );
Server side depends on what programming language you use. For
example using python:
self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'text/vnd.aexp.json.resp'
self.response.set_status( 200,"OK" )
self.response.out.write( json.dumps( responseList ) )
