Steps:
-
Create a table (
employee) in the database to store user information such as first name, last name, city, and email. -
Connect to the database using
database.php. -
Insert user data into the database using a form in
insert.php. -
Retrieve data from the
employeetable and display it in a table format usingretrieve.php.
Here’s a breakdown of the required steps and code:
1. Create Table (SQL query):
This creates the table employee with the necessary fields.
2. Database Connection (database.php):
This file connects to the database db_php_test using mysqli.
3. Insert Data (insert.php):
This file contains a form to insert user data like first name, last name, city, and email.
4. Process Data (process.php):
This script processes the form data and inserts it into the employee table.
5. Retrieve Data (retrieve.php):
This file retrieves data from the database and displays it in a table using DataTables for additional functionality (e.g., sorting, searching).
Key Points:
-
Database: The
employeetable contains the columnsuserid,first_name,last_name,city_name, andemail. Theuseridis set as the primary key and is auto-incremented. -
Insert: The form data is inserted into the
employeetable via theprocess.phpfile after form submission. -
Retrieve: The
retrieve.phpfile fetches all records from theemployeetable and displays them in a table format.
This code will allow you to insert new employee data and retrieve it from the MySQL database. Let me know if you need further assistance!
