PHP MySQL Select
The
SELECT statement is used to select data from a database.
Select
Data From a Database Table
The SELECT statement is used to select data from a database.
Syntax
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
|
Note: SQL statements are not case
sensitive. SELECT is the same as select.
To get PHP to execute the statement above we must use the
mysql_query() function. This function is used to send a query or command to a
MySQL connection.
Example
The following example selects all the data stored in the
"Person" table (The * character selects all of the data in the
table):
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM person");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['FirstName'] . " " . $row['LastName'];
echo "<br />";
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
|
The example above stores the data returned by the mysql_query()
function in the $result variable. Next, we use the mysql_fetch_array() function
to return the first row from the recordset as an array. Each subsequent call to
mysql_fetch_array() returns the next row in the recordset. The while loop loops
through all the records in the recordset. To print the value of each row, we
use the PHP $row variable ($row['FirstName'] and $row['LastName']).
The output of the code above will be:

Display
the Result in an HTML Table
The following example selects the same data as the example above,
but will display the data in an HTML table:
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM person");
echo "<table border='1'>
<tr> <th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
</tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . echo $row['FirstName'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . echo $row['LastName'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
mysql_close($con);
?>
|
The output of the code above will be:
|
Firstname
|
Lastname
