To insert data into a MySQL database using PHP, you can use MySQLi (Procedural & Object-Oriented) or PDO.

The INSERT INTO statement is used to add new records to a MySQL table

Syntax:

INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)

The following examples add a new record to the "users" table:

Example (MySQLi Procedural)

<?php

$servername = "localhost";

$username = "root";

$password = "";

$dbname = "mydatabase"; // Change to your database name

// Create connection

$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection

if (!$conn) {

die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());

}

// Insert query

$sql = "INSERT INTO users (name, email, password) VALUES ('John Doe', 'john@example.com', '123456')";

if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {

echo "New record inserted successfully. Last inserted ID is: " . mysqli_insert_id($conn);

} else {

echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . mysqli_error($conn);

}

// Close connection

Example (MySQLi Object-oriented)

<?php

$servername = "localhost";

$username = "root";

$password = "";

$dbname = "mydatabase";

// Create connection

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection

if ($conn->connect_error) {

die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);

}

// Insert query

$sql = "INSERT INTO users (name, email, password) VALUES ('John Doe', 'john@example.com', '123456')";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {

echo "New record inserted successfully. Last inserted ID is: " . $conn->insert_id;

} else {

echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;

}

// Close connection

$conn->close();

Example (PDO)

<?php

$servername = "localhost";

$username = "root";

$password = "";

$dbname = "mydatabase";

try {

$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);

// Set PDO error mode to exception

$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);

// Insert query with placeholders

$sql = "INSERT INTO users (name, email, password) VALUES (:name, :email, :password)";

// Prepare statement

$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);

// Bind parameters

$stmt->bindParam(':name', $name);

$stmt->bindParam(':email', $email);

$stmt->bindParam(':password', $password);

// Values to insert

$name = "John Doe";

$email = "john@example.com";

$password = "123456";

// Execute the query

$stmt->execute();

// Get last inserted ID

echo "New record inserted successfully. Last inserted ID is: " . $conn->lastInsertId();

} catch (PDOException $e) {

echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();

}

// Close connection

$conn = null;
