Before starting this example, you must have completed the Create a database stage.
Create a file called index.php (see Create project folder) and follow these steps:
-
Add an HTML html element and a body inside it.
<html><body></body></html> -
Add a PHP element to your body.
<?php ?> -
Connect to your database as the root user, use a query to get the message from the row just added, then close the connection.
$databaseLink = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "", "NeatTreats"); $result = $databaseLink->query("SELECT Message FROM WelcomeMessage WHERE MessageID = 1;"); -
Echo the data so you can see it on the HTML page, then close the database connection.
echo $result->fetch_assoc()["Message"]; $databaseLink->close();
The final code should look as follows. Test the file in your browser to get a message from the database.
<html><body><?php
$databaseLink = new mysqli("localhost", "root", "", "NeatTreats");
$result = $databaseLink->query("SELECT Message FROM WelcomeMessage WHERE MessageID = 1;");
echo $result->fetch_assoc()["Message"];
$databaseLink->close();
?></body></html>
