Hello could anyone help me please with db connection, im using xampp, phpmyadmin, when i open the browser, DBConnection.class.php it shows blank and db doesnt work, thanks
<?php
class DBConnection{
public static function DbConn(){
$servername = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
try{
$conn = new PDO($servername, $username, $password);
return $conn;
echo"Connection succesful :)";
}
catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed :( :" . $e->getMessage();
}
}
}
?>
Modified Code. Try this:
class DBConnection{
public static function DbConn(){
$servername = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
try{
$conn = new PDO($servername, $username, $password);
return "Connection succesfull :)";
//return $conn;
}
catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed :( :" . $e->getMessage();
}
}
}
and then call like this
$Connection = new DBConnection();
print_r($Connection->DbConn());

This is my code:
<?php
//Connect to DB
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=users", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
function printResult($conn) {
$sql = 'SELECT name FROM info';
foreach ($conn->query($sql) as $row) {
print $row['name'] . "\t";
}
}
?>
But, when I run it, nothing gets printed. What's wrong?
Yes, my table is not empty. I am 100% able select & print data using MySQLi Object-oriented, but not working with PDO. What's wrong in my code?
Call the function
<?php
//Connect to DB
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=users", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}
function printResult($conn) {
$sql = 'SELECT name FROM info';
foreach ($conn->query($sql) as $row) {
print $row['name'] . "\t";
}
}
//call the function here
printResult($conn);
?>
To run a function you must call it.
<?php
//Connect to DB
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=users", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
// and if this fails there is no point continuing so add an exit
exit;
}
function printResult($conn) {
$sql = 'SELECT name FROM info';
foreach ($conn->query($sql) as $row) {
print $row['name'] . "\t";
}
}
printResult($conn); // call the function
?>
You don't call function printResult from anywhere.
Add to your code printResult($conn);
In my project i had a file called connection.inc.php which is managing the data base connection using PDO.
include/connection.inc.php
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "college";
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>
i included this file in various other pages and it worked perfectly for me. But when i tried to acess the $conn object inside a function it not working. How to fix this problem.
You could do global $conn on top of your functions, but don't. I suggest wrapping it in a singleton instead.
<?php
class Connection {
private static $conn = null;
private $connection = null;
private function __construct() {
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "college";
try {
$this->connection = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$this->connection->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage(); // Should look into a different error handling mechanism
}
}
public static function getConnection() {
if (self::$conn === null) {
self::$conn = new self();
}
return self::$conn->connection;
}
}
You can access it via Connection::getConnection()
This also has the advantage of not initializing the connection if the current request doesn't need to use it.
Honestly the simplest method is to set the connection inside of a function then you can use that function in other functions.
Example:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
function dataQuery($query, $params) {
$queryType = explode(' ', $query);
// establish database connection
try {
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host='.DB_HOSTNAME.';dbname='.DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD);
$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false);
$dbh->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
$errorCode = $e->getCode();
}
// run query
try {
$queryResults = $dbh->prepare($query);
$queryResults->execute($params);
if($queryResults != null && 'SELECT' == $queryType[0]) {
$results = $queryResults->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
return $results;
}
$queryResults = null; // first of the two steps to properly close
$dbh = null; // second step to close the connection
}
catch(PDOException $e) {
$errorMsg = $e->getMessage();
echo $errorMsg;
}
}
How To Use In Another Function:
function doSomething() {
$query = 'SELECT * FROM `table`';
$params = array();
$results = dataQuery($query,$params);
return $results[0]['something'];
}
You need to update your file as
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "college";
//// define global variable
global $connection
try {
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$servername;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
/// assign the global variable value
$connection = $conn ;
// set the PDO error mode to exception
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
echo "Error: " . $e->getMessage();
}
?>
Now you can call it any of your function like
function mytest(){
global $connection;
}
The best practice would be to pass the $conn as argument to the function.
But if you really need the function to have no arguments but still use a global variable, then adding this line in your function before using the variable should do the trick:
global $conn; // I want to use the global variable called $conn
I get this error on booking.php
bookings'unsuccessful entry: No database selected
I also have a db_connect.php
<?php
$dbname = "mysql:dbname=lessonbookings";
try{
$db = new PDO($dbname,'root','');
}catch(PDOException $ex){
echo 'connection error: ' . $ex->getMessage();
}
?>
)
I get this error message and I double/tripled checked my database name. I cant figure out what is wrong.
You have an extra space before lesson bookings
Try this one:
$host = "your host name"; //Add your Host Name (probably localhost)
$db = "lesson bookings";
$user = "root";
$password = "";
try{
$db = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;dbname=$db", $user, $password);
}
catch(PDOException $err) {
echo "Error: ".$err->getMessage()."<br/>";
die();
}
I gotten this error
Database Connected successfully Fatal error: Call to a member function prepare() on a non-object in D:\home\site\wwwroot\DatabaseMethods.php on line 22
I can't seem to find what is causing this any one could point out whats wrong please enlighten me.
I have tried to call the connection before running the prepared statement but cant seems to work or what should i do
Thanks in advance

I am trying to select rows from my database table, and I am getting an error stating that
Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on null in..
Our connection to the database shows successful. Below is my php code:
<?php
require_once("dbconn.php");
$db = getConnection();
$input_pid = "870104-07-5448";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM Pat WHERE PID ='$input_pid'";
$stmt = $db->query($sql);
$row = $stmt->fetchObject();
echo $row->PID;
echo $row->Name;
?>
This is the dbconn.php code:
function getConnection(){
try {
$hostname = "busctrlctr-pc";
$dbname = "DispenserSystem";
$username = "sa";
$password = "123456";
$db = new PDO ("sqlsrv:Server=$hostname;Database=$dbname", $username, $password);
echo 'We are succesful to connect the database !!'.'<br>'; // successful word
} catch (PDOException $e){
echo "connection failed problem is >> ". $e -> getMessage()."\n";
exit;
}
}
Can i know why I am getting this error. Thank you.
You never return $db in your funtion getConnection();
change the funtion to:
function getConnection(){
try {
$hostname = "busctrlctr-pc";
$dbname = "DispenserSystem";
$username = "sa";
$password = "123456";
$db = new PDO ("sqlsrv:Server=$hostname;Database=$dbname", $username, $password);
echo 'We are succesful to connect the database !!'.'<br>'; // successful word
return $db;
} catch (PDOException $e){
echo "connection failed problem is >> ". $e -> getMessage()."\n";
exit;
}
}
