PHP-MySQL Database Connectivity Using XAMPP Server

A Step by Step approach for
PHP-MySQL Connectivity Using XAMPP Server

Step I
Downloading and
Installing XAMPP

What we Require?
1. XAMPP Server(32 bit/64 bit)
2. Editor(Notepad++/Netbeans)
3. Any Latest Browser(Internet
Explorer/Chrome/Mozila Firefox)

• Download Latest Version of XAMPP(32/64 bit,
according to your machine) from apachefriends.org
• An .exe file will be downloaded after few minutes.
•

• Now Double Click on Downloaded exe file of XAMPP. It
will be started to install.
• There can a warning message shown as in following
snapshot. Just click on Ok (because it is related with user
account control, will be discussed later sometime).

• After few minutes, XAMPP will be installed.XAMPP comes with its
Control Panel. This control panel is used to start/stop any service
directly. It will prompt to open Control panel. You can open now or
later on. I will open to check the installation status of XAMPP.
• After clicking on finish, Save appropriate language.
• Now Following snapshot shows XAMPP control panel.

• Now start Apache and MySQL services by clicking on Start Buttons shown
in front of them.Now, lets check the working of server.
• Open any Browser.(I will open Chrome).
• Type localhost in address bar and hit enter.The following screen shows
successful working of XAMPP.

Step II
Creating Database and Table in
MySQL

• Open XAMPP Control Panel.It can be opened by moving to
C:xampp directory.Serach xampp-control file and click on it.
• Now click on Admin button in front of MySQL Module.It will
open MySQL database user interface in default browser as
shown.
• You can create and manage databases in this interface. It can
be also openend by typing http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ in
address bar.

Creating Database
• Click on database Tab.
• Now type name of database you want to create.I type
user_account. Then click on create button.
• Now new database with name user_accounts will be created
and shown on the top in hierarchical way.

Creating Table
• Now give a tablename to be created and select number of columns. Click
on go to proceed further.
• I have typed two columns say, user_id and user_passwd for my table.Click
on save to process query. A table will be created as shown.

Step III
Connecting PHP and MYSQL to
insert into table

• Open Notepad++ to type following
coding.Save this file to C:xampphtdocs for
proper working.

Form Coding (user_register.php)
</head>
<body>
<form id="user_register" method="get" >
<div style="text-align:center">
<span class="label success" height="100%"><font size="4">Enter User
Id</font></span>
<input type="text" id="un" name="uname" placeholder="Enter User Name">
<br/>
<span class="label success" height="100%"><font size="4">Enter User
Id</font></span>
<input type="password" id="up" name="upasswd" placeholder="Enter
Password">
<br/><br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add User">

Form Coding (user_register.php) cont.
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "user_accounts";
//creating connection
$con = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
//checking connection status
if($con->connect_error)
{
die("Connection Failure:".$conn->connect_error);
return false;
}

Form Coding (user_register.php) cont.
if(isset($_GET['submit']))
{
$u_name=$_GET['uname'];
$u_passwd=$_GET['upasswd'];
$add_qry="insert into
users_tabs(user_id,user_passwd)values('$u_name','$u_passwd')";
if ($con->query($add_qry) === TRUE)
{
echo "User Added"."<br/>";
}
else
{echo "Error: " . $add_qry . "<br>" . $con->error;}
unset($_GET['submit']);
$con->close();
}
?>
</div></form><body></html>

Conclusion
• So, hence you can execute every type of query
such as insert, select, delete and update in
MySql.
