Getting PHP to Talk to MySQl

Now that you’re comfortable using the MySQL client tools to manipulate

data in the database, you can begin using PHP to display and modify data

from the database. PHP has standard functions for working with the

, we’re going to discuss PHP’s built-in database functions.

We’ll also show you how to use the The PHP Extension and Application

Repository (PEAR) database

functions that provide the ability to use the same functions to access

any supported database. This type of flexibility comes from a process

called

abstraction

. In programming interfaces, abstraction simplifies a

complex interaction. It works by

removing any nonessential parts of the interaction, allowing you to

concentrate on the important parts. PEAR’s DB classes are one such

database interface abstraction. The information you need to log into a

database is reduced to the bare minimum. This standard format allows you

to interact with MySQL, as well as other databases using the same functions.

Similarly, other MySQL-specific functions are replaced with generic ones

that know how to talk to many databases. For example, the MySQL-specific

connect function is:

mysql_connect($db_host, $db_username, $db_password);

versus PEAR’s DB connect function:

$connection =

DB::connect("mysql://$db_username:$db_password@$db_host/$db_database"

);

The same basic information is present in both commands, but the PEAR

function also specifies the type of databases to which to connect. You

can connect to MySQL or other supported databases. We’ll discuss both

connection methods in detail.

In this chapter, you’ll learn how to connect to a MySQL server fromPHP,

how to use PHP to access and retrieve stored data, and how to correctly

display information to the user.

The Process

The basic steps of performing a query, whether using the mysql

command-line tool or PHP, are the same:

• Connect to the database.

• Select the database to use.

• Build a SELECT statement.

• Perform the query.

• Display the results.

We’ll walk through each of these steps for both plain PHP and PEAR

functions.

Resources

When connecting to a MySQL database, you will use two new resources. The

first is the link identifier that holds all of the information necessary

to connect to the database for an active connection. The other resource

is the results resource. It contains all information required to retrieve

results from an active database query’s result set. You’ll be creating

and assigning both resources in this chapter.

Querying the Database with PHP Functions

In this section, we introduce how to connect to a MySQL database with PHP.

It’s quite simple, and we’ll begin shortly with examples, but we should

talk briefly about what actually happens. When you try connecting to a

MySQL database, the MySQL server authenticates you based on your username

and password. PHP handles connecting

to the database for you, and it allows you to start performing queries

and gathering data immediately.

As in Chapter 8, we’ll need the same pieces of information to connect

to the database:

• The IP address of the database server

• The name of the database
