For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
MySQL stored procedures / their use on the web from PHP

Are there times when your PHP will pull a large result set back from MySQL, or have to make a large number of queries, just to further process the data into a relatively small dynamic section of a report? If so, why not have the MySQL do more of the work and return a much shorter, more processes results to the PHP? You can do this with an appropriate stored procedure.

On yesterday's MySQL course I wrote a series of stored procedure examples ... the "abc" of stored procedures, if you like - there are complete books on the topic! Let's see the results - follow the links if you want to see the code.

This is a very simple stored procedure ... a 'macro' that lets a simple query - call otc() embedded in your mysqli query method - run a more complex piece of SQL within the MySQL daemon.

See MySQL stored procedure definition and PHP source code


Rather than return just a single value, this example returns a complete table of results - in our PHP, we've loped through those results and displayed them in a browser.

You'll want to pass a parameter into your stored procedures ... this example shows how ...

Our final example in this set shows variables, conditionals, loops, a cursor and more ... we've passed back just a single value - kicked back to us by a rather different use of select to what you're used to.

The data that we seeded the tables with is here, and the same data as a mysqldump file is here
