To display and update MySQL data via HTML form using PHP, you can follow these steps:
Connect to the database using mysqli_connect() function and select the database.
$connection = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "database_name");
Retrieve the data from the MySQL database using a SELECT query.
$query = "SELECT * FROM table_name";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);
Loop through the result set and display the data in an HTML table.
echo "<table>";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['column1'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['column2'] . "</td>";
// add more columns as needed
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
Add an HTML form to the page for updating the data. Use the same column names as in the SELECT query.
<form method="POST" action="update.php">
<input type="text" name="column1" value="">
<input type="text" name="column2" value="">
<!-- add more input fields as needed -->
<input type="submit" value="Update">
</form>
Create a PHP script to handle the form submission and update the database.
i
f ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$column1 = $_POST["column1"];
$column2 = $_POST["column2"];
// add more variables for additional columns
$query = "UPDATE table_name SET column1='$column1', column2='$column2' WHERE id=1";
mysqli_query($connection, $query);
}
Be sure to replace table_name, column1, column2, and id with the actual names used in your MySQL database.
Finally, close the database connection using the mysqli_close() function.
mysqli_close($connection);
Remember to properly sanitize and validate user input before inserting or updating data in the database to prevent SQL injection attacks. You can use the mysqli_real_escape_string() function to escape any user input used in the query.
