Postby krrahman » 07. September 2014 10:25

Hello, I am new in web designing. Here, I want to know 'how i can connect a MySQL database from a html page'. Actually I have a simple web page designed through html and css, a login form is there. I want users will have to put their information in the form and when they click on submit button, it will store in the data table.

If any body help me by giving a step by step solution. Thank you

Hi,

You cannot do it with HTML alone. HTML is just a Markup language.
You need to send the form to a php file which do the database connect and insert the data.

Suche in der Suchmaschine deines Vertrauens mal nach "PHP mysqli tutorial" oder "PHP PDO tutorial"

CGI Programming including PHP Programming (incl. storing and retrieving Data into a SQL Database) is a very complex subject, you cannot simply provide an example and thats it. You should look for tutorials and or literatur about "HTML & CGI and PHP, including MySQL Programming" or similar.

You have to learn how forms are working, what is a HTTP Request (especially the meaning of a POST request), how does HTTP work (how does a webserver like Apache communicate with a client browser), how does CGI work (how to transfer data via forms and how to process the incoming data on the server, which programming language to use - here it is PHP, but there is also Python, Perl etc.), how does an SQL Database work, what is a SELECT Statement, what is a table, how does PHP communicate with an SQL Server, and and and and and and ... you may have to learn quite a lot in the next months.

What you want to do is use PHP, this is the way a database can be connected using mySQL..

I can give you a basic example of this,

Assuming you have created a database in XAMPP PHPMyAdmin, with a user and password assigned to it, here how you would do it.

Code: Select all
<?php
$dbUser= "DATABASE_USERNAME_HERE";
$dbPass = "DATABASE_PASS_HERE";
$dbName = "DATABASE_NAME_HERE";
$dbHost = "YOUR_HOSTNAME"; // Usually it is 'localhost'

$con = mysql_connect($dbHost, $dbUser, $dbPass);
if(!$con){
 die(mysql_error());
} else {
 mysql_select_db($dbName, $con);
 echo  $dbName . " has been connected";
}
?>


The above example is given in mySQL_* which is now depreciated, so you should switch to PDO which is faster, secure and convinient.
