  1. Lecture 7 Database 20/2/12 Connection

  2. Useful Link • http://www.connectionstrings.com/

  3. Database Connections Web Server – Corvus 3 Request Data stored on DB Client PC Db Data retrieved from Db and sent to browser window

  4. ADO – ActiveX Data Objects. • This ability to access multiple types of data stores with a relative simple and flat object model, make ADO the simplest method yet devised for retrieving data • ADO works with ODBC compliant sources

  5. Connection Object • The Connection Object is used to hold information about the data store you want to access • Because it is an Object it has properties and methods • Some of these will be needed when creating you PHP application

  6. The Connection Object • Before you can retrieve any data from a database, you have to create and initalise a connection to that database • ADODB contains all the ADO objects that you will need to use • In order to use any of the Object from the ADO Object Model you will need to create them • PHP uses the following syntax for creating an Instance of an object $conn = new COM ("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO"); Note: we store the connection in a variable ($conn) for later use in the script. The "die" part will be executed if the connection fails.

  7. Connection String • Connection String ‘tells’ your connection what database you wish to connect to. • If you have a system DSN set up all you need do is supply this when setting the connection String. • This is the simplest form of string that can be used. • The connection can also be used for a DSN-less connection.

  8. Connection String $connStr = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MBSEBus\CHeavin\Databases\cus.accdb"; Note: WWWRoot is a hidden folder (by default) and can't be displayed in directory listing

  9. Connection String • Connection strings are string variables which contain database connection information and then passed to ADO(ActiveX Data Objects) which will interpret them and act accordingly • They need to be in a comprehensible for ADO format • If you're connecting to an MS Access database, you need the DRIVER, and the DBQ, and some other optional information

  10. Opening the connection. • When the you have created an instance of the connection object and you have created the assigned a connection string you then need to explicitly open the connection to the database. • To open a connection: $conn->open($connStr); • If the Open method executes you have a working connection to the database

  11. Closing the Connection • As with any Object you need to free the memory associated with it when you are finished. • However, before you do that, you need to close the connection $conn->Close();

  12. Closing the connection. • If you wanted to close the connection but connect to a different data source, you can use the same instance of the connection object. • Simply close the connection first, the set the connection information appropriately and, and reopen it.

  13. RecordSet • Setting up the recordset $rS = $conn->execute("SELECT * FROM test");

  14. Reading Data from a Database After connecting to a database. You may want to do all or some of the following: • Read Data • Write Data • Delete Data

  15. Reading Data from a Database • Recordset is simply a set of records. • The Recordset may be used to contain • a subset of all the records in a table • All the records in a table. • A specifically chosen set of records • Using a specific SQL statement. • You will need to create an instance of the recordset object before you can use it

  16. Recordset $rS = $conn->execute("SELECT * FROM test"); $f1 = $rS->Fields(0); $f2 = $rS->Fields(1); while (!$rS->EOF) { print $f1->value." ".$f2->value."<br />\n"; $rS->MoveNext(); } $rS->Close();

  17. Select Records <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <title>Untitled 1</title> </head> <body> <?php //create an instance of the ADO connection object $conn = new COM ("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO"); //define connection string, specify database driver $connStr = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MBSEBus\CHeavin\Databases\cus.accdb"; //Open the connection to the database $conn->open($connStr); echo "Connection Open<br>"; //recordset code $rS = $conn->execute("SELECT * FROM test"); $f1 = $rS->Fields(0); $f2 = $rS->Fields(1); while (!$rS->EOF) { print $f1->value." ".$f2->value."<br />\n"; $rS->MoveNext(); } $rS->Close(); $conn->Close(); ?> </body> </html>

  18. Update SQL Example: $sql="UPDATE test SET name='Mary' WHERE name='Ciaran'";

  19. Update Records <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <title>Untitled 1</title> </head> <body> <?php //create an instance of the ADO connection object $conn = new COM ("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO"); //define connection string, specify database driver $connStr = "PROVIDER=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mbsebus\CHeavin\Databases\cus.accdb"; //Open the connection to the database $conn->open($connStr); echo "Connection Open<br>"; $sql="UPDATE test SET name='Ciara' WHERE name='harry'"; $rS = $conn->execute($sql); echo "Record Updated<br>"; $conn->Close(); ?> </body> </html>

  20. Delete SQL $sql="DELETE * FROM test WHERE name='barry'";

  22. Insert SQL $sql="INSERT INTO test (name,age) VALUES ('".$name1."','".$age1."' );"; //Set SQL query
