0:0 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on the fourth part of My SQL and php tutorials. |
0:10 | In the last tutorial, I used "mysql_query" function to insert some values into our table. |
0:20 | I made a mistake here by putting the date as current date, which isn't my date of birth. |
0:26 | I was able to update here. I was also able to specify where I wanted to update. |
0:31 | Using a unique ID key, I was able to specify exactly where I wanted to update. |
0:35 | So we've already seen the "update" in mysql code. |
0:40 | This is very useful. |
0:41 | This query and code is the one that is mostly used while working with tables or if you're working with mysql in general. |
0:52 | The next thing I'll show you is how to get data from your table and how to display it really well. |
1:04 | So I will call this "update data" so that we know what that is. |
1:14 | Here, we will say "extract data". |
1:17 | That's a good word to use. |
1:18 | Now, again we will say "extract" and we will create a variable. |
1:24 | This again is "mysql query" and here is some code. |
1:28 | This is slightly more complicated than using these single line queries. |
1:37 | We use single line queries here, but we could have some code after this in order to display properly. |
1:44 | First I will create another record in the table. |
1:50 | So we don't need this "current date" function anymore. |
1:52 | I need this "write" to be shown. Lets create some new value. |
1:59 | I'll say "Kyle Headen" and I'll set a date of birth here. This one is month. So that is the 7th and lets say here, 24th. |
2:16 | So now we got the date of birth. |
2:18 | Now we've got male and then we've got "Kyle Headen" and we are again inserting this into our database. |
2:26 | Lets refresh. |
2:28 | Here I'll create another new value. |
2:32 | I'll say "Emily Headen" and I'll just leave the date of birth as it is for now. |
2:44 | This will be "Female" because I'll extract these records at one point. |
2:48 | Refresh this again. |
2:50 | So we've created 3 records here. |
2:53 | I'll comment this "write". Backup my database. |
2:56 | I'll click on browse in this specific table and you can see that I've got 3 records. |
3:02 | Each one of these is called a "record of data". |
3:05 | We can see this id has also automatically incremented. |
3:07 | We've got the data that we specified and everything that we need. |
3:12 | Ok, so we are extracting data here and I will uncomment this. |
3:19 | Our mysql query is going to start with "select". |
3:23 | This will be either specific records or we can use asterisk (*) to get all the data we need. |
3:32 | Now I'll use an asterisk (*). |
3:35 | What you could do is type "select firstname". |
3:40 | But usually, when you have table, you will need most of the data and it'll take longer to do. |
3:46 | Depending on the source of the table, this won't take very long. |
3:52 | So you already have a couple of records or fields. |
3:55 | But for now I'll say select asterisk (*), which is a star. |
4:00 | We can say select star and then we say FROM. |
4:04 | Again we say, the specified table which is "people". |
4:08 | Here, we can say WHERE and how can you ummm...... filter for the data you want. |
4:18 | So I can say "SELECT star (*) FROM people WHERE firstname= "Alex'". |
4:22 | This query will return only one value because we can see that if we open up here, there is only one record with "Alex". |
4:33 | We can do this by using another really useful function called "mysql numrows" and what I can do is echo this out. |
4:44 | I'll say "echo mysql_num_rows". This is the reason we have given these variables here to be stored in. |
4:54 | Here we can just type "extract". |
4:56 | Our "extract" variable holds our query and our function here tells us how many rows are there in the query that is given out. |
5:09 | Presuming that we gave firstname as "Alex", it'll show when we refresh. |
5:14 | However you get 1. |
5:15 | Lets change this. Lets put something that's common to two people in this database. |
5:21 | That would be the "gender". |
5:23 | So that'll be "Male" or "Female" . Here we can say "WHERE gender = M" and when we refresh, we get two records. |
5:35 | So we can tell how many records we are getting out. |
5:38 | This is really useful for saying how many people in my database are male, for example. |
5:44 | And we can see how many males or females are registered to our website. |
5:49 | So you can store registered information inside here. |
5:55 | What we can also do is order the records. |
5:59 | So I'll say "ORDER BY id" and we can choose descending that is "DESC" or we can choose ascending, which is "ASC". |
6:08 | But for now I'll take this out because we haven't actually echoed out our data yet. |
6:13 | We haven't displayed out our data to the users that has been selected. |
6:16 | So there is no point in using that at the moment. |
6:19 | Now, here I'll say select star (*) from "people" because I want to select all the data from this table here. |
6:29 | So I can manipulate and show it to the user the way I want. |
6:31 | I'll create something here called "numrows"; "numrows =" that. |
6:42 | I'll use a "while" loop. This will use a specific function which is "mysql_fetch_assoc". |
6:58 | It puts this into an associative array. |
7:02 | If you don't know what an associative array is, check out "Arrays" tutorial. |
7:06 | Coming back, "WHILE the row= mysql_fetch_aasoc" or associative is what I will say and this is inside the "extract" query. |
7:21 | We are selecting "row" as array name and we are selecting this as an array for all the selected data. |
7:31 | I'll stop here. In the next tutorial I'll show you how to echo out this data. |
7:37 | I'll probably explain this a bit more in detail. |
