Hello guys, today we will learn how to create a simple pagination using PHP and Bootstrap. What is pagination? If you have a form which allows the user to browse through the rows in a database table, what do you do if that table has hundreds or even thousands of rows? It would not be a good idea to show all those rows in a single form, instead you should split the database output into more manageable chunks or 'pages'. There are two things you must do: Decide on the maximum number of database rows that can be included in each page. You may hard code this value, or (my preferred method) you can define it in a variable so that the value may be changed at runtime. You then need to inform the user that other 'pages' are available and provide a mechanism whereby the user is able to select a different 'page' of details. This is nothing but pagination area.                                 This area tells the ...

Hello guys, In the previous tutorial we have seen how to connect to MySQL database with PHP using MySQLi. Today we will learn how to connect with PDO. As a PHP programmer we have learned how to access database by using either MySQL and MySQLi. As of PHP 5.1, there's a better way. PHP Data Objects(PDO) provide methods for prepared statements and working with objects that will make you far more productive! PDO Introduction :        PDO provides a data-access abstraction layer, which means that, regardless of which database you're using, you use the same functions to issue queries and fetch data. PDO does not provide a database abstraction; it doesn't rewrite SQL or emulate missing features. Database Support:       The extension can support any database that a PDO driver has been written for. The following drivers currently implement the PDO interface: PDO_CUBRID Cubrid PDO_DBLIB FreeTDS / Microsoft SQL Server / Sybase PDO_FIREBIRD Firebird PDO_I...

Hello friends, today we will learn how to connect to  MySQL  database with PHP. This tutorial will require a MySQL database and a web development environment using mysql, apache and php and a simple text editor. The tutorial takes you through establishing a  MySQL  connection using php on a web page, connecting to a  MySQL  table and retrieving the results and displaying them back on the web page. Earlier versions of PHP used the  MySQL  extension.However, this extension was depreciated in 2012. Later can work with  MySQL  database using MySQLi extension (the "i" stands for improved) PDO (PHP Data Objects)        The main difference between these two are if you want to switch your project to another database PDO makes it easy(since it can connect 12 different databases). You only have to change the connection string and a few queries. With MySQLi, you will need to rewrite the entire code - queries included.In this t...
