Add, List, Edit, Delete Record in Database Using PHP

By | November 6, 2012

Add, List, Edit, Delete Record in Database Using PHP is a very simple task given to php newbie to check about their knowledge in php. This add, list, edit and delete record operation uses all basic SQL queries (i.e., insert, select, update, delete)

Add record – Insert sql query
List record – Select sql query
Edit record – update sql query
Delete record – delete sql query

There are four php files are used here to do this operations.

config.php
add.php
list.php
edit.php
delete.php

Database

DATABASE NAME :  freeze_demo

TABLE NAME:  addd

FIELDS:  id(primary key with auto increment), name, age

Stylesheet

[code type=css]

<style type=”text/css”>
td
{
padding:5px;
border:1px solid #ccc;

}
</style>

[/code]

 

PHP Code to Add Edit List Delete Record

Here is the simple php code for add, list, edit and delete record

config.php

[code type=php]

<?php
$query=mysql_connect(“localhost”,”root”,””);
mysql_select_db(“freeze_demo”,$query);
?>
[/code]

add.php

[code type=php]

<html>
<body>
<?php
include(‘config.php’);
if(isset($_POST[‘submit’]))
{
$name=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[‘name’]);
$age=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[‘age’]);
$query1=mysql_query(“insert into addd values(”,’$name’,’$age’)”);
echo “insert into addd values(”,’$name’,’$age’)”;
if($query1)
{
header(“location:list.php”);
}
}
?>
<fieldset style=”width:300px;”>
<form method=”post” action=””>
Name: <input type=”text” name=”name”><br>
Age: <input type=”text” name=”age”><br>
<br>
<input type=”submit” name=”submit”>
</form>
</fieldset>
</body>
</html>

[/code]

 

list.php

In list record page, for each records there is a edit and delete option. Edit option invokes edit.php page and delete option invokes delete.php

[code type=php]

<html>
<body>
<?php
include(‘config.php’);
$query1=mysql_query(“select id, name, age from addd”);
echo “<table><tr><td>Name</td><td>Age</td><td></td><td></td>”;
while($query2=mysql_fetch_array($query1))
{
echo “<tr><td>”.$query2[‘name’].”</td>”;
echo “<td>”.$query2[‘age’].”</td>”;
echo “<td><a href=’edit.php?id=”.$query2[‘id’].”‘>Edit</a></td>”;
echo “<td><a href=’delete.php?id=”.$query2[‘id’].”‘>x</a></td><tr>”;
}
?>
</ol>
</table>
</body>
</html>

[/code]

 

edit.php

When edit option in list page is clicked, we will be redirected to edit.php and by using  id value (primary key) values will be fetched from database.

[code type=php]

<html>
<body>
<?php
include(‘config.php’);
if(isset($_GET[‘id’]))
{
$id=$_GET[‘id’];
if(isset($_POST[‘submit’]))
{
$name=$_POST[‘name’];
$age=$_POST[‘age’];
$query3=mysql_query(“update addd set name=’$name’, age=’$age’ where id=’$id'”);
if($query3)
{
header(‘location:list.php’);
}
}
$query1=mysql_query(“select * from addd where id=’$id'”);
$query2=mysql_fetch_array($query1);
?>
<form method=”post” action=””>
Name:<input type=”text” name=”name” value=”<?php echo $query2[‘name’]; ?>” /><br />
Age:<input type=”text” name=”age” value=”<?php echo $query2[‘age’]; ?>” /><br /><br />
<br />
<input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”update” />
</form>
<?php
}
?>
</body>
</html>

[/code]

 

delete.php

When delete (‘X’) option is clicked in list page, particular record will be deleted by using id values and redirected to list.php

[code type=php]

<html>
<body>
<?php
include(‘config.php’);
if(isset($_GET[‘id’]))
{
$id=$_GET[‘id’];
$query1=mysql_query(“delete from addd where id=’$id'”);
if($query1)
{
header(‘location:list.php’);
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>

[/code]

    I know you must be a very busy person. But, I must ask if you are available to assit me with one php script for a project that I am working on. If so, please contact me as soon as possible as I am running out of time. Also, please let me know your charges.

    Very useful, but for those who put this online as a active system, be aware that his is not save! you can delete records by just typing delete.php?id=…

    So you should have a script running that checks if someone is logged in, if so, execute the script, if not, return to login.php or something like that.

    Never trust the user input! When the user enters a string with a ‘ in it, you’ll end up with a sqlinjection.

    THIS CODE IS NOT SAFE! DO NOT USE THIS CODE ON YOUR OWN SITE!

    Dear Prasad,

    A very nice tutorial. I have been trying something similar where i have been trying to get the add and edit functionality into one form. Thus the add.php will have both add and edit buttons and when they are clicked the code for their processing should also be in the same add.php file. Can someone show how this may be achieved?

    Thanks loads
