What is php query?

i am learning php, i got keyword : php query

but i dont remember from where, can you tell me what is it?

query is for mysql/running in phpmyadmin right? so what is php query?

 

hey there,

you are probably thinking about running queries on mysql from php. This is a very common function that you will definitely need to learn. A query is basically a request you make to a database to retrieve specific information. A very basic query would be: "SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 10" which means select all the columns in the table and return 10 rows.

Definitely check this link out for more info: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-query.php

 

@Adbuff please don't link to the old extension which was deprecated in version 5.5 of PHP and was removed in version 7 of PHP. @kerjadu you should be using either the mysqli_* extension (note the i there) or PDO.

For either the mysqli_*or PDO you should always use prepared statements. By always using prepared statements even if the source of the data is from the system, if you ever change the source of the data to some supplied by the user you won't accidentally open up a security hole

 

thank you all
