In Part 1 of the project we have seen how to display the file details of a directory. The same list we will try to store in a table. Our table will have four columns. All are available here.
First the connecting file z_db1.php
<?Php
$dbhost_name = "localhost";
$database = "sql_tutorial";
$username = "root";
$password = "test";
//////// Do not Edit below /////////
try {
$dbo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname='.$database, $username, $password);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
//print "Error!: " . $e->getMessage() . "<br/>";
die();
}
?>
After connecting to MySQL we will insert the data. The part which does the storing is here.
/////Inserting to MySQL database //////
$sql=$dbo->prepare("insert into file_dtl(url,title,dt) values(:url,:title,:dt)");
$sql->bindParam(':url',$url,PDO::PARAM_STR, 200);
$sql->bindParam(':title',$title,PDO::PARAM_STR, 150);
$sql->bindParam(':dt',$dt,PDO::PARAM_STR,10);
if($sql->execute()){
}
else{
print_r($sql->errorInfo());
echo "<br>";
//echo " Not able to add data please contact Admin ";
}
////// Enf of Inserting to MySQL datbase //////
We have used PDO to connect and insert data to MySQL table

$sql=$dbo->prepare("insert into file_dtl(url,title,dt) values(:url,:title,:dt)");
$sql->bindParam(':url',$url,PDO::PARAM_STR, 200);

}
////// End of Inserting to MySQL datbase //////
//echo "<tr><td>$url</td><td>$title</td><td>$dt</td></tr>";
$i=$i+1;
}// end of if checking file extension
}// end of while reading directory
closedir($handle);
echo "</table>";
echo "Total Number of files checked = $i ";
?>

The SQL Dump of the table is here
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `file_dtl` (
`id` int(3) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`url` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
`title` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
`dt` date NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=136 ;
