SESSIONS
Used to store or change setting for a user session. It holds information about o
ne single user and is available to all pages in 1 application.
Its like a file, we open, modify and close it. During this process local compute
r knows our identity. But on internet, we are anonymous user and web server
does not know about our identity. Therefore sessions are used as temporary stora
ge for user identification and is deleted as soon as user leaves the website.
This info is temporary. For permanent storage, database is used.
Sessions works from UID for each visitor and is stored in cookie or is passed in
URL.
Starting the session
<?php session_start(); ?>
Storing variables in session
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['views']))
$_SESSION['views']=$_SESSION['views']+1;
else
$_SESSION['views']=0;
?>
Destroying session
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['views']))
unset($_SESSION['views']);
session_destroy();
?>
E_MAIL
mail(to, subject, message, header, parameter);
Non secure email
<h2>FEEDBACK FORM</h2>

MYSQL AND PHP
1. Open connection
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect(host,username,password,databasename);
if(mysqli_connect_errno())
echo "Fail".mysqli_connect_errno();
?>
2. Close connection
mysqli_close($con);
3. Instruction
$sql="create table persons(firstname char[30], lastname varchar[30], age
int)";
if(mysqli_query($con,$sql))
echo "Success"
else
echo "Failure";
4. Inserting value to a database
index.html
//html commands for creating a form
//In form we have 3 inputs: firstname, lastname and age. And we press su
bmit button to save it into the database.
<html><body>
<form action="insert.php" method="post">
Firstname: <input type="text" name="fn">
Last Name: ""
Age: ""
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</body></html>
//insert.php
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect(host,username,password,databasename);
if(mysqli_connect_errno())
echo "Fail".mysqli_connect_errno();
$fna=mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['fn'];
$lna=mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['ln'];
$age=mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['age'];
$sql="insert into person values('$fna','$lna','$age')";
if(mysqli_query($con,$sql))
echo "Success";
else
echo "Failure";
mysqli_close($con);
?>
5. Select statement-- Listing Database
//Create connection
$result=mysqli_query($con,"select * from persons");
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['firstname'].' '.$row['lastname'];
echo "<br>";
}
}
//close connection
6. Display the data from database into a table
//Create connection
$result=mysqli_query($con,"select * from persons");
echo " <table border=1>
<tr>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
</tr>";
while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$row['firstname']."</td><td>".$row['lastname']."</td
>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
//close connection
