This article explains how to insert and select data from a database into a HTML table in PHP. Using an insert statement you can insert data into a database. Using a select statement you can select the entire data from a database into a HTML table.
First of all we will create a database.
Create The Database
<html>
<body bgcolor="pink">
<center>
<?php
$con = mysql_connect ("localhost","root","");
$db="MCN";
if (!$con)
{
die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
if (mysql_query ("CREATE DATABASE $db",$con))
{
echo "Your Database Created Which Name is : $db";
}
else
{
echo "Error creating database: " . mysql_error();
}
mysql_close ($con);
?>
</center>
}</body>
</html>
Output
In the above code, we created a database named MCN. Now we will create a table in the MCN database.

Create The Table
<html>
<body bgcolor="pink">
<center>
<?php
$con = mysql_connect ("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
{
die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db ("MCN", $con);
$sql = "CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE
(
Name varchar(50),
Designation varchar(50),
Sal int,
Qualification varchar(50)
)";
mysql_query($sql,$con);
echo "Your table created which is as follows";
mysql_close($con);
?>
<table bgcolor="skyblue" border="2">
<tr>
<td colspan=2 align="center">Employee Table</td>
</tr>
<td>Name</td><td><input type="text" name="txt1"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Designation</td><td><input type="text" name="txt2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sal</td><td><input type="text" name="txt3"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Qualification</td><td><input type="text" name="txt4"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center>
</body>
</html>

Insert Data in Table
Now we will write the code to insert data into the database table. The code for inserting data into the database table is as follows:
<?php
$con=mysql_connect ("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("mcn",$con);
@$a=$_POST['txt1'];
@$b=$_POST['txt2'];
@$c=$_POST['txt3'];
@$d=$_POST['txt4'];
if(@$_POST['inser'])
{
$s="insert into employee values ('$a','$b','$c','$d')";
echo "Your Data Inserted";
mysql_query ($s);
}
$con=mysql_connect ("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db ("mcn",$con);
if(@$_POST ['sel'])
{
echo $ins=mysql_query ("select * from employee");
echo "<table bgcolor=skyblue border='2'>
<tr>
<th colspan=4>Select Data From Employee Table</th></tr>
<tr>
<th>Nmae</th>
<th>Designation</th>
<th>Sal</th>
<th>Qualification</th>
</tr>";
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array ($ins))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<th>".$row ['Name']."</th>";
echo "<th>". $row ['Designation']. "</th>";
echo "<th>". $row ['Sal']."</th>";
echo "<th>".$row ['Qualification']."</th>";
echo "</tr>";
}
}
echo "</table>"
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body bgcolor="pink">
<table bgcolor="skyblue" border="2">
<form method="post">
<tr>
<td colspan=2 align="center">Employee Table</td>
</tr>
<td>Name</td><td><input type="text" name="txt1"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Designation</td><td><input type="text" name="txt2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sal</td><td><input type="text" name="txt3"></td>

<td>Qualification</td><td><input type="text" name="txt4"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit" name="inser" value="Insert"></td>
<td><input type="submit" name="sel" value="Select"></td>
