Server-side scripting
A method of designing websites so that the process or user request
is run on the originating server. Server-side scripts provide an
interface to the user and limit access to proprietary data and help
keep control of the script source code

PHP + MySQL Database System

x PHP combined with MySQL are cross-platform (you can develop in Windows
and serve on a Unix platform)

Should I Use MySQLi or PDO?

Both MySQLi and PDO have their advantages:

PDO will work on 12 different database systems, whereas MySQLi will only
work with MySQL databases.

So, if you have to switch your project to use another database, PDO makes
the process easy. You only have to change the connection string and a few queries.
With MySQLi, you will need to rewrite the entire code - queries included.

Open a Connection to MySQL

Before we can access data in the MySQL database, we need to be able to

connect to the server:

Create a MySQL Database Using MySQLi

The CREATE DATABASE statement is used to create a database

in MySQL.

The following examples create a database named "myDB":

Create a MySQL Table Using MySQLi

The CREATE TABLE statement is used to create a table in

MySQL.

We will create a table named "MyGuests", with five columns:

"id", "firstname", "lastname", "email" and "reg_date":

After the data type, you can specify other optional attributes for
each column:
x NOT NULL - Each row must contain a value for that column,
null values are not allowed
x DEFAULT value - Set a default value that is added when no
other value is passed
x UNSIGNED - Used for number types, limits the stored data to
positive numbers and zero
x AUTO INCREMENT - MySQL automatically increases the value
of the field by 1 each time a new record is added
x PRIMARY KEY - Used to uniquely identify the rows in a table.
The column with PRIMARY KEY setting is often an ID number,
and is often used with AUTO_INCREMENT

Insert Data Into MySQL Using MySQLi

After a database and a table have been created, we can start
adding data in them.

Here are some syntax rules to follow:

x The SQL query must be quoted in PHP
x String values inside the SQL query must be quoted
x Numeric values must not be quoted
x The word NULL must not be quoted

Here are some syntax rules to follow:

x The SQL query must be quoted in PHP
x String values inside the SQL query must be quoted
x Numeric values must not be quoted
x The word NULL must not be quoted

The INSERT INTO statement is used to add new records to a MySQL

table:

PHP MySQL Use The WHERE Clause

Select and Filter Data From a MySQL Database

The WHERE clause is used to filter records.

The WHERE clause is used to extract only those records that

fulfil a specified condition.

PHP MySQL Use the ORDER BY Clause

The ORDER BY clause is used to sort the result-set in
ascending or descending order.

The ORDER BY clause sorts the records in ascending order by

default. To sort the records in descending order, use the DESC
keyword.
