MySqlLoop.php - MySQL Functions Test

A tutorial example is provided on how to use MySQL functions to connect to a MySQL server, and run SQL statements to create a table, insert rows and fetch rows with the MySQL server.

To show you how some of those MySQL functions should be used, I wrote this simple script, MySqlLoop.php:

<?php
#- MySqlLoop.php
#  Copyright (c) 2005 HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved.
#
#   $con = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','TopSecret');
   $con = mysqli_connect('localhost','herong','TopSecret');

   print "Creating a database...\n";
   $rs = mysqli_query($con,'DROP DATABASE MyBase');
   $rs = mysqli_query($con,'CREATE DATABASE MyBase');
   $rs = mysqli_query($con,'USE MyBase');
   if (!$rs) {
      print(mysqli_error($con));
      exit;
   }

   print "Creating a table...\n";
   $rs = mysqli_query($con,'CREATE TABLE MyTable (ID INTEGER,'
      .' Value INTEGER)');
   $n = 100;
   $i = 0;
   print "Inserting some rows to the table...\n";
   while ($i < $n) {
      $rs = mysqli_query($con,'INSERT INTO MyTable VALUES ('.$i.', '
         .rand(0,$n-1).')');
      $i++;
   }
   print "Query some rows from the table...\n";
   $rs = mysqli_query($con,'SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE ID < 10');
   print "   ID   Value\n";
   while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($rs)) {
      print "    ".$row[0].'   '.$row[1]."\n";
   }
   mysqli_free_result($rs);
   mysqli_close($con);
?>

Before running the above script, you need to make sure user "herong" has ALL privileges on all databases and tables:

herong> %mysql%\bin\mysql.exe --user=root --password
Enter password: TopSecret

mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* TO herong;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

If you run this script, you will get something like:

herong> \local\php\php MySqlLoop.php

Creating a table...
Inserting some rows to the table...
Query some rows from the table...
   ID   Value
    0   14
    1   91
    2   84
    3   16
    4   88
    5   51
    6   12
    7   19
    8   39
    9   5
