Fetch Data (Read)

To retrieve data from a MySQL database in PHP, a SELECT query is used to fetch the data from the specified table. The query results are stored in a PHP variable which can then be displayed on the frontend by echoing out row values. Connections to the database server are opened and closed to perform queries. Specific rows can be fetched by including a WHERE clause with a unique ID value.

Retrieve or Fetch Data From Database in

PHP
As we know Database is a collection of tables that stores data in it.
To retrieve or fetch data from MySQL database it is simple to do it
using MySQL Select query in PHP .
Here in this blog post we will be going to see how to fetch data and to display
it in front end.
MySQL Select Query:
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name

PHP:
$query = mysql_query("select * from tablename", $connection);

For this you must have a database in MySQL . Here, we have a database
named company which consists of a table named employee with 5 fields in
it.
Next we have created a PHP page named updatephp.php where following
steps will be going to perform:

We first establish connection with server .


$connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");

Selects database.

$db = mysql_select_db("company", $connection);

Executes MySQL select query.


$query = mysql_query("select * from employee", $connection);

Display fetched data


<span>Name:</span> <?php echo $row1['employee_name']; ?>
<span>E-mail:</span> <?php echo $row1['employee_email']; ?>
<span>Contact No:</span> <?php echo $row1['employee_contact']; ?>
<span>Address:</span> <?php echo $row1['employee_address']; ?>

Closing connection with server.


mysql_close($connection);
