Free knowledge blog: linux, programming, open source, databases, android, frameworks, web and computing in general
Although there are millions of tutorials about MySQL and PHP, I decided to make mine but in a very very simple way. Before you start, you must have a basic knowledge in MySQL.
It is worth mentioning that we will not see good practices of databases, relationships, etc. We will use the tables as they are, without looking at normalization, or things like that.
Note: this tutorial uses PDO, but remember that we can also use mysqli
functions. Personally I recommend PDO, because it is object oriented. However, I hope to write a tutorial about mysqli in the future.
