WWW Organization

It Is A Good Idea To

Create A Folder For

Each Web Page

Place Most Items, On

Page, In That Folder!2

WWW SetUp

3

Create Folders

Quadratic, FirstPrime, & RandomNo

4

Drag .php Pages Into Their Proper Folders

If You Do So Inside Expression Web, The Links Will Adjust

Within Site!

(You Will Not Have To Change Main-Menu.php)

5

Add The Link Below To The Bottom Of

Quadratic.php

RandomNo.php

FirstPrime.php

<p><A href="../Main-Menu.php"> Return To Main Menu </A>

6

Add The Link Below To The Bottom Of Each

Of Your Other Pages As Well!

Modify Page Student-Display.php

Add The Code:

<?PHP/*================================================================ Connect To MySQL Database ================================================================*/$server ="localhost"; $username="root";$password="trinity";$database="libraryth1";

$con=mysqli_connect($server, $username, $password, $database);?>

We Changed The Original PHP.ini To Make This Work!

20

Create Page Student-Display.php

This is the same as the previous page!

<?php/*================================================================ Connect To MySQL Database ================================================================*/$conn = new mysqli();$conn->connect("localhost","root","trinity","libraryth");

?>


21

Modify php.ini -3-

Edit C:\Program Files\PHP\php.ini

In order to keep PHP lean and mean, many of the optional extensions

are turned off.

We must turn on the MySQL extensions.

22


Modify php.ini -4A-

We must often tell the system where we are storing these optional

(MySQL) extensions.

23


Modify php.ini -4B-

Modify Page Student-Display.php -1-

Change the connection portion to the following:

<?PHP/*================================================================ Connect To MySQL Database ================================================================*/$server ="localhost"; $username="StanfordUser";$password="trinity"; //Use Your Password $database="stanford";


26

Stanford User Privileges On Stanford DB

Stanford Cannot Change DB.

<?PHP/*================================================================ Connect To MySQL Database ================================================================*/$server ="localhost"; $username="StanfordUser";$password="trinity"; //Use Your Password $database="stanford";


27

<?PHP/*================================================================ Connect To MySQL Database ================================================================*/$server ="localhost1"; $username="StanfordUser";$password="trinity"; //Use Your Password $database="stanford";


28

Try Bad UserName StanfordUser1

<?PHP/*================================================================ Connect To MySQL Database ================================================================*/$server ="localhost"; $username="StanfordUser1";$password="trinity"; //Use Your Password $database="stanford";


29

Try Bad Password trinity1

<?PHP/*================================================================ Connect To MySQL Database ================================================================*/$server ="localhost"; $username="StanfordUser1";$password="trinity"; //Use Your Password$database="stanford1";


31

Blank Is Good!-1-

Connection Established!

<?PHP/*================================================================ Connect To MySQL Database ================================================================*/$server ="localhost"; $username="StanfordUser";$password="trinity"; //Use Your Password$database="stanford";


32


Add the Query : Use Your Name!

. . ./*================================================================ Query ================================================================*/$query = "SELECT * FROM Users";$recSet = $conn->query($query);

echo "<CENTER><H1> Display Students </H1></CENTER>";echo "<CENTER><H2> Written By Dr. Tom Hicks </H2></CENTER><HR>";

?>

33


Cycle Through The Record Set Loop: print the data

. . . echo "<CENTER><H1> Display Students</H1></CENTER>";echo "<CENTER><H2> Written By Dr. Tom Hicks </H2></CENTER><HR>";

echo "<pre><P>";/*================================================================ Loop Through Records In Record Set ================================================================*/while(list($sID, $sName, $GPA) = $recSet->fetch_row())

printf("<strong>%3d %-15s %4.2f </strong> <BR>", $sID, $sName, $GPA);

echo "</h2></pre>";?>

34

<p><A href="../Main-Menu.php"> Return To Main Menu </A>


There are several ways to connect.

There are a number of ways to walk through the records.

35

Inefficient!

Why Read All Of Data If Only Going To Display Part?

36

More Efficient!

Reduce The Transfer Of Data

37


There are other ways to Generate the same output.

/*================================================================ Loop Through Records In Record Set ================================================================*/while($Rec = $recSet->fetch_row())

printf("<B>%3d %-15s %4.2f </B> <BR>", $Rec[0], $Rec[1], $Rec[2]);

echo "</h2></pre>";

About

PHP & MySQLSpecial Thanks To PHP.net For Some Of

The Following Documentation

39

API – Application Programming Interface

An Application Programming Interface, or API, defines the classes,

methods, functions and variables that your application will need to call

in order to carry out its desired task.

In the case of PHP applications that need to communicate with

databases the necessary APIs are usually exposed via PHP

extensions.

APIs can be Procedural or Object-Oriented.

With a procedural API you call functions to carry out tasks

With the object-oriented API you instantiate classes and then call

methods on the resulting objects.

The Object-Priented API is usually the Preferred Interface, as it

is more modern and leads to better organized code.

When writing PHP applications that need to connect to the MySQL

server there are several API options available.

40

MySQL Connector

In the MySQL documentation, the term Connector refers to a piece

of software that allows your application to connect to the MySQL

database server.

MySQL provides connectors for a variety of languages, including

PHP.

41

PHP Extension

In the PHP documentation you will come across another term -

Extension. The PHP code consists of a core, with optional extensions

to the core functionality.

PHP's MySQL-related extensions, such as the mysqli extension,

and the mysql extension, are implemented using the PHP

extension framework.

An extension typically exposes an API to the PHP programmer, to

allow its facilities to be used programmatically. However, some

extensions which use the PHP extension framework do not expose an

API to the PHP programmer.

The PDO MySQL driver extension, for example, does not expose an

API to the PHP programmer, but provides an interface to the PDO

layer above it.

The terms API and extension should not be taken to mean the same

thing, as an extension may not necessarily expose an API to the

programmer.

42

Main PHP API Offerings For MySQL

There are three main API options when considering connecting to a

MySQL database server:

PHP's MySQL Extension

PHP's mysqli Extension

PHP Data Objects (PDO)

43

PHP's MySQL Extension

This is the Original Extension designed to allow you to develop PHP

applications that interact with a MySQL database.

The mysql extension provides a procedural interface and is intended

for use only with MySQL versions older than 4.1.3.

This extension can be used with versions of MySQL 4.1.3 or newer,

but not all of the latest MySQL server features will be available.

This Is Old Technology!:

The majority of references on the Internet demonstrate how to use

the MySQL Extension.

If you are using MySQL versions 4.1.3 or later it is strongly

recommended that you use the mysqli extension instead. YES

The MySQL Extension is being phased out!

The mysql extension source code is located in the PHP extension

directory ext/mysql.

44

PHP's mysqli Extension – 1

The mysqli extension, or as it is sometimes known, the MySQL

improved extension, was developed to take advantage of new

features found in MySQL systems versions 4.1.3 and newer.

The mysqli extension is included with PHP versions 5 and later.

The mysqli extension has a number of benefits, the key

enhancements over the mysql extension being:

Object-oriented interface

Support for Prepared Statements

Support for Multiple Statements

Support for Transactions

Enhanced debugging capabilities

Embedded server support

45

PHP's mysqli Extension – 2

If you are using MySQL versions 4.1.3 or later it is strongly

recommended that you use this extension.

As well as the Object-Oriented Interface the extension also provides a

Procedural Interface.

The mysqli extension is built using the PHP extension framework, its

source code is located in the directory ext/mysqli.

46

PHP Data Objects (PDO)

PHP Data Objects, or PDO, is a database abstraction layer

specifically for PHP applications. PDO provides a consistent API for

your PHP application regardless of the type of database server your

application will connect to.

In theory, if you are using the PDO API, you could switch the

database server you used, from say Firebird to MySQL, and only

need to make minor changes to your PHP code.

While PDO has its advantages, such as a clean, simple, portable API,

its main disadvantage is that it doesn't allow you to use all of the

advanced features that are available in the latest versions of MySQL

server.

For example, PDO does not allow you to use MySQL's support for

Multiple Statements.

PDO is implemented using the PHP extension framework, its source

code is located in the directory ext/pdo.

Applications

Have Many Connections

51

Create Folder

C:\InetPub\wwwroot\Secure-Connect

52

Create Page Connection.php -1-

It is often the case that there might be hundreds of web pages that

access a single database. Passwords change. The database host can

change.

We would like an easy way to be able to change the password only

one time.

Create page Connection.asp – include it hundreds of times! When the

time comes to make a change, do it once. Save In Folder Secure-

Connect!
