How to connect to MySQL Database, SQL Query and Displaying Query Results using PHP scripts

After creating your database and tables in MySQL (PhpMyAdmin). You are now ready to connect to your database using the PHP script below.


////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// We use the pre-defined function mysql_connect("server","username","password"),
//
// since we are developing our website in localhost (your own machine), by default, we use
// localhost as our server, root as our username and no password.
//
// Note: You can always create a new database user with password
// protection in PhpMyAdmin. Thus, making it
// mysql_connect("localhost","yourUsername","yourPassword")
//
// and you can use any names for your variables during the PHP scripting. Just a suggestion, // you should name your variables according to its use.
//
////////////////////////////////////////////////

$link = mysql_connect("server","username","password") or die("Cannot Connect to DB");

///////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// we declared and initialized a variable ($link) to hold the connection,
// after a successful MySQL connection, we are now going to select our database
// using mysql_select_db("yourDBName","yourMySQLConnection")
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////

mysql_select_db("yourDBName",$link);

///////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// after selecting your database, you are now ready to query.
// For SQL queries reference, click HERE.
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////

$sql = "SELECT * FROM yourTableName";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

while($show = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $show['someFieldNameInYourTable'];
}

///////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// $sql holds the sql query string,
// $result holds the exact query using the function mysql_query("yourSQLQuery"),
// and mysql_fetch_array("resultOfYourSQLQuery") is responsible for getting the data from
// your query and displaying it using echo
//
///////////////////////////////////////////////

There you have it. You can use this LINK for your PHP reference.

x.x.x.x is not accessible...

I had a hard time troubleshooting a network connectivity to other PC in our workplace. The pop up error, "x.x.x.x is not accessible..." where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the PC you are trying to access through a network. The reason for this, is that the restricanonymous registry (start\run\regedit\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa) is set to 1 where it should be set to 0. Everytime I set the restricanonymous registry to 0, after couple seconds in changes back to 1. I have search the web for quiet some time now and found many reasons for this problem. One of those is that it is being manipulated by a process called svdhost.exe (worm) from the startup. And when I have tried locating the process, it does not exist in the registry. So what I did is, I checked every process running in the system through the "task manager" and search it on google. And I have found SCtri.exe which is a trojan/backdoor which is causing the problem (http://www.greatis.com/appdata/d/s/sctri.exe.htm). I automatically ended the process in the task manager and search "SCtri.exe" in the registry (start\run\regedit\Ctrl+f) and delete every time it returns a result (I have found 3 SCtri.exe running in different folders in the system). And finally, I have set the restrictanonymous to 0 and restart the PC. And it works. The problem was solved.

You can try this, if ever you will going to experience such problem.

An Art

I've received an email from one of my colleagues, I just want to share to you how a simple watermelon and an eggshell can be made into a masterpiece...











If you were amazed by the watermelons, wait till you see the eggshells...

"These egg shells were cut with a high intensity precision Laser Beam. This gives a very good idea of what can be achieved with a Laser Beam. This gives you an idea what laser surgery performed on one's eye is all about. Is it any wonder how one's vision can be improved in just a few moments? Science is sometimes wonderful, and it's still on the frontier of gaining new knowledge." - anonymous

DONT QUIT!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
You might succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor's cup.
And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt -
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

A very inspiring message that I want to share with you all. ^_^
