PHP - Updating Data into MySQL Database

       No comments

Data can be updated into MySQL tables by executing SQL UPDATE statement through PHP function mysql_query.

Below is a simple example to update records into employee table. To update a record in any table it is required to locate that record by using a conditional clause. Below example uses primary key to match a record in employee table.

Example

Try out following example to understand update operation. You need to provide an employee ID to update an employee salary.

<html>
   
   <head>
      <title>Update a Record in MySQL Database</title>
   </head>
   
   <body>
      <?php
         if(isset($_POST['update'])) {
            $dbhost = 'localhost:3036';
            $dbuser = 'root';
            $dbpass = 'rootpassword';
            
            $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
            
            if(! $conn ) {
               die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
            }
            
            $emp_id = $_POST['emp_id'];
            $emp_salary = $_POST['emp_salary'];
            
            $sql = "UPDATE employee ". "SET emp_salary = $emp_salary ". 
               "WHERE emp_id = $emp_id" ;
            mysql_select_db('test_db');
            $retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
            
            if(! $retval ) {
               die('Could not update data: ' . mysql_error());
            }
            echo "Updated data successfully\n";
            
            mysql_close($conn);
