PHP code to insert data in the database

The INSERT INTO statement is used to add new records to a MySQL table:

    INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3,...)

    VALUES (value1, value2, value3,...)

The following examples add a new record to the "Student" table:

<?php

$servername = "localhost";

$username = "username";

$password = "password";

$dbname = "myDB";

// Create connection

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection

if ($conn->connect_error) {

  die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);

}

$sql = "INSERT INTO Student (firstname, lastname, email)

VALUES ('Cristiano', 'Ronaldo', 'cr7@gmail.com')";

if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {

  echo "New record created successfully";

} else {

  echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;

}

$conn->close();

?>
