How can we handle NULL values stored in a MySQL table by using PHP script?
We can use the if...else condition in PHP script to prepare a query based on the NULL value. To illustrate it we are having the following example −
Example
In this example, we are using the table named ‘tcount_tbl’ having the following data −
mysql> SELECT * from tcount_tbl; +-----------------+----------------+ | tutorial_author | tutorial_count | +-----------------+----------------+ | mahran | 20 | | mahnaz | NULL | | Jen | NULL | | Gill | 20 | +-----------------+----------------+ 4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Now, the following is a PHP script that takes the value of ‘tutorial_count’ from outside and compares it with the value available in the field.
<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost:3036';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = 'rootpassword';
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
if(! $conn ) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
if( isset($tutorial_count )) {
$sql = 'SELECT tutorial_author, tutorial_count FROM tcount_tbl
WHERE tutorial_count = $tutorial_count';
} else {
$sql = 'SELECT tutorial_author, tutorial_count FROM tcount_tbl
WHERE tutorial_count IS $tutorial_count';
}
mysql_select_db('TUTORIALS');
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
if(! $retval ) {
die('Could not get data: ' . mysql_error());
}
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($retval, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo "Author:{$row['tutorial_author']} <br> ".
"Count: {$row['tutorial_count']} <br> ".
"--------------------------------<br>";
}
echo "Fetched data successfully
";
mysql_close($conn);
?>
