The code use MySQLi SELECT query that will display the MySQLi row as a html list using mysqli_fetch_array(). This a user-friendly program feel free to modify and use it to your system.

We will be using PHP as a scripting language that interepret in the webserver such as xamp, wamp, etc. It is widely use by modern website application to handle and protect user confidential information.

First you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that run PHP scripts. Here's the link for XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html.

Creating the database connection

Open your any kind of text editor(notepad++, etc..). Then just copy/paste the code below then name it conn.php.

  1. <?php
  2. 	$conn=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "db_list");
  3.  
  4. 	if(!$conn){
  5. 		die("Error: Failed to connect to database!");
  6. 	}
  7. ?>

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.php.

  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
  2. <html lang="en">
  3. 	<head>
  4. 		<meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
  5. 		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css" />
  6. 	</head>
  7. <body>
  8. 	<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
  9. 		<div class="container-fluid">
  10. 			<a class="navbar-brand" href="<a href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
  11. " rel="nofollow">https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
  12. </a>		<div>
  13. 	</nav>
  14. 	<div class="col-md-3"></div>
  15. 	<div class="col-md-6 well">
  16. 		<h3 class="text-primary">PHP - Populate List With MySQLi</h3>
  17. 		<hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;">
  18. 		<div class="col-md-3">
  19. 			<form method="POST" action="add.php">
  20. 				<div class="form-group">
  21. 					<label>Enter a movie title</label>
  22. 					<input type="text" name="movie" class="form-control" required="required"/>
  23. 				</div>
  24. 				<center><button class="btn btn-primary" name="add">Add</button></center>
  25. 			</form>
  26. 		</div>
  27. 		<div class="col-md-9">
  28. 			<h2>MY MOVIE LIST <?php echo date("Y")?></h2>
  29. 			<ul>
  30. 				<?php
  31. 					require'conn.php';
  32.  
  33. 					$query=mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM `movie`") or die(mysqli_error());
  34. 					while($fetch=mysqli_fetch_array($query)){
  35. 						echo "<li>".$fetch['movie_title']."</li>";
  36. 					}
  37. 				?>
  38. 			</ul>
  39. 		</div>
  40. 	</div>
  41. </body>	
  42. </html>

Creating the Main Function

This code contains the main function of the application. This code will display the MySQLi data as a list when the button is clicked. To make this just copy and write these block of codes below inside the text editor, then save it as add.php

  1. <?php
  2. 	require_once'conn.php';
  3.  
  4. 	if(ISSET($_POST['add'])){
  5. 		$movie=$_POST['movie'];
  6.  
  7. 		mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO `movie` VALUES('', '$movie')") or die(mysqli_error());
  8.  
  9. 		header('location: index.php');
  10. 	}
  11. ?>
