How can we insert data into an existing MySQL table by using PHP script?
As we know that PHP provides us the function named mysql_query to insert data into an existing MySQL table.
Example
To illustrate this we are inserting data into a table named ‘Tutorials_tbl’ with the help of PHP script in the following example −
<html>
<head>
<title>Add New Record in MySQL Database</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['add'])) {
$dbhost = 'localhost:3036';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = 'rootpassword';
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass);
if(! $conn ) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
if(! get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {
$tutorial_title = addslashes ($_POST['tutorial_title']);
$tutorial_author = addslashes
($_POST['tutorial_author']);
} else {
$tutorial_title = $_POST['tutorial_title'];
$tutorial_author = $_POST['tutorial_author'];
}
$submission_date = $_POST['submission_date'];
$sql = "INSERT INTO tutorials_tbl ".
"(tutorial_title,tutorial_author, submission_date)
"."VALUES ".
"('$tutorial_title','$tutorial_author','$submission_date')";
mysql_select_db('TUTORIALS');
$retval = mysql_query( $sql, $conn );
if(! $retval ) {
die('Could not enter data: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "Entered data successfully
";
mysql_close($conn);
} else {
?>
<form method = "post" action = "<?php $_PHP_SELF ?>">
<table width = "600" border = "0" cellspacing = "1" cellpadding = "2">
<tr>
<td width = "250">Tutorial Title</td>
<td>
<input name = "tutorial_title" type = "text" id = "tutorial_title">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width = "250">Tutorial Author</td>
<td>
<input name = "tutorial_author" type = "text" id =
"tutorial_author">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width = "250">Submission Date [ yyyy-mm-dd ]</td>
<td>
<input name = "submission_date" type = "text" id =
"submission_date">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width = "250"> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width = "250"> </td>
<td>
<input name = "add" type = "submit" id = "add" value
= "Add Tutorial">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<?php
}
?>
</body>
</html>
