PHP MySQL Read data

Read data from MySQL database

The SELECT statement is used to read data from the data table:

SELECT column_name(s) FROM table_name

To learn more about SQL, please visit our SQL tutorial.

In the following example, we read the data of the id, firstname and lastname columns from the table MyGuests and display it on the page:

Example (MySQLi - Object-oriented)

<?php
 $servername = "localhost";
 $username = "username";
 $password = "password";
 $dbname = "myDB";
 
 // 創(chuàng)建連接
 $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
 // 檢測連接
 if ($conn->connect_error) {
     die("連接失敗: " . $conn->connect_error);
 } 
 
 $sql = "SELECT id, firstname, lastname FROM MyGuests";
 $result = $conn->query($sql);
 
 if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
     // 輸出每行數據
     while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
         echo "<br> id: ". $row["id"]. " - Name: ". $row["firstname"]. " " . $row["lastname"];
     }
 } else {
     echo "0 個結果";
 }
 $conn->close();
 ?>

The following example reads all records of the MyGuests table and displays them in an HTML table:

Example (PDO)

<?php
 echo "<table style='border: solid 1px black;'>";
 echo "<tr><th>Id</th><th>Firstname</th><th>Lastname</th><th>Email</th><th>Reg date</th></tr>";
 
 class TableRows extends RecursiveIteratorIterator { 
     function __construct($it) { 
         parent::__construct($it, self::LEAVES_ONLY); 
     }
 
     function current() {
         return "<td style='width: 150px; border: 1px solid black;'>" . parent::current(). "</td>";
     }
 
     function beginChildren() { 
         echo "<tr>"; 
     } 
 
     function endChildren() { 
         echo "</tr>" . "\n";
     } 
 } 
 
 $servername = "localhost";
 $username = "username";
 $password = "password";
 $dbname = "myDBPDO";
 
 try {
     $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
     $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
     $stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM MyGuests"); 
     $stmt->execute();
 
     // 設置結果集為關聯(lián)數組
     $result = $stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); 
 
     foreach(new TableRows(new RecursiveArrayIterator($stmt->fetchAll())) as $k=>$v) { 
         echo $v;
     }
     $dsn = null;
 }
 catch(PDOException $e)
 {
     echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
 }
 $conn = null;
 echo "</table>";
 ?>
