MySQLi MySQLiObject Object- -Oriented Oriented <?php $servername = "localhost"; $username = "username"; $password = "password"; // Create connection $conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password); // Check connection if ($conn->connect_error) { die("Connection failed: " . $conn- >connect_error); } echo "Connected successfully"; ?> OUTPUT: Connected successfully
MYSQLI MYSQLIPROCEDURAL PROCEDURAL <?php $servername = "localhost"; $username = "username"; $password = "password"; // Create connection $conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password); // Check connection if (!$conn) { die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } echo "Connected successfully"; ?> OUTPUT: Connected successfully
PDO PDO // set the PDO error mode to exception $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); echo "Connected successfully"; } catch(PDOException $e) { echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage(); } ?> PDO - PHP Data Objects - is a database access layer providing a uniform method of access to multiple databases. It doesn't account for database-specific syntax, but can allow for the process of switching databases and platforms to be fairly painless, simply by switching the connection string in many instances. <?php $servername = "localhost"; $username = "username"; $password = "password"; try { OUTPUT: $conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=myDB", $username, $password); Connected successfully
