Answer 1

First read this article carefully. http://www.phpro.org/tutorials/Introduction-to-PHP-PDO.html
Especially "Connect to MySQL" part. After that you will really understand the concept of MySQL and PHP relation.
Then start learning PHP basics. If you don't know what an array or control statements are, you don't know enough.

Answer 2

Today I want to share you important topics that is mostly required while coding in PHP and MySQL. One important thing that we should keep in mind so that less hitting the database, it would increase the better performance of our web software applications. Unwanted access of database is harmful and resource misuse. If a record set of a select query is being used many time then we should keep in buffer it should be an array.
Please see the record set below. I want this in an php array so that I can use it as many time as I want without touching the database.
The select query is as below along with the code required.
<?php
/**** CONNECT TO THE DATABASE *****/
$host = "localhost"; $user= "root"; $pwd = "root1";
$dblink = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pwd);
if (!$dblink)
{
header("Location: db_error.php");
}
$database = "cinindia_ciiss";
mysql_select_db($database, $dblink) or die("\n Could not select database, Please try after some time..");
/**** WRITE YOUR SQL QUERY *******/
$select = "SELECT sub_activity_alias,
a_s_month,
a_s_target,
a_s_target_no,
a_s_budjet,
achieved,
achieved_no,
expense,
a_s_target_type
FROM activity_planning
WHERE prj_id = 37
AND holder_id = 5
AND impl_1id = 0
AND impl_2id = 0
AND activity_id = 14
AND sub_activity_id = 109
AND acct_year = '2015-2016'
ORDER BY FIELD(a_s_month,'Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec','Jan','Feb','Mar') ASC";
$queryResult= mysql_query($select);
/****** DECLARE YOUR ARRAY WHERE YOU WILL KEEP YOUR RECORD SETS *******/
$data_array=array();
/******* STORE ALL THE RECORD SETS IN THAT ARRAY ********/
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($queryResult, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
array_push($data_array,$row);
}
mysql_free_result($queryResult);
/****** TEST TO SEE THE RESULT OF THE ARRAY ******/
echo '<pre>';
print_r($data_array);
echo '</pre>';
// FREE THE ARRAY DECLAREd WHEN USING COMPLETE .
mysql_close($dblink);
?>
Hope it will help you. If it help, please share in in social sites from, it is at the beginning of the topics.
Thanks.
