Insert Data MySQL Database Using PHP PDO Method

In this tutorial how to insert data in a MySQL table using PDO Method in PHP

MySQL INSERT Query using PDO Method

We will discuss PHP PDO Method. Example is given below.

//Database connection
try{
    $pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=domaincom_member", "database user", "database Password");
    // Set the PDO error mode to exception
    $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
} catch(PDOException $e){
    die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . $e->getMessage());
}
 
// insert query execution
try{
    $sql = "INSERT INTO member (name,addr,email) VALUES ('saurav', 'kolkata', '[email protected]')";    
    $pdo->exec($sql);
    echo "Records inserted successfully.";
} catch(PDOException $e){
    die("ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " . $e->getMessage());
}
 
// Close connection
unset($pdo);
?>

This new PDO() function is establish database connection. Next set POD error mode. $e variable show database connecting error. INSERT INTO sql query insert data Mysql database table. $pdo->exec($sql) function executed INSERT INTO sql query. Then close connection.

Database Structure example is given below

PDO Handle Errors

The three type error modes manage the error mode attribute in your newly created database connection.

• PDO::ERRMODE_SILENT
• PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING
• PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION

Example is given below

$pod->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_SILENT );
$pod->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING );
$pod->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION );

Three methods are writing in the INSERT INTO statement. Procedural Method and Object Oriented Method as we discussed earlier.
