1)连接：&conn=mysql_connect(“localhost”, “joeuser”, “somepass”);
2)关闭连接：mysql_close($conn);
3） 数据库与连接建立联系：mysql_select_db(database name, connection index);
4） 将SQL语句给MySQL执行：$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn); //增删改查都是这句
5） 检索数据：返回记录数：$number_of_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
将记录放入数组：$newArray = mysql_fetch_array($result);
例子：
1: < php
2: // open the connection
3: $conn = mysql_connect(“localhost”, “joeuser”, “somepass”);
4: // pick the database to use
5: mysql_select_db(“testDB”,$conn);
6: // create the SQL statement
7: $sql = “SELECT * FROM testTable”;
8: // execute the SQL statement
9: $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
10: //go through each row in the result set and display data
11: while ($newArray = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
12: // give a name to the fields
13: $id = $newArray['id'];
14: $testField = $newArray['testField'];
15: //echo the results onscreen
16: echo “The ID is $id and the text is $testField
”;
17: }
