Easy Inline Update Row Using MySQLi

In this tutorial, we will create an Easy Inline Update Row using PHP. This code will launch a modal to update the data in the table when the user clicks the edit button. The system uses the MySQLi UPDATE query to update the targeted data by adding an id in the WHERE clause. This a user-friendly program. Feel free to modify and use it for your system.

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

Getting Started:

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

And this is the link for the jquery that I used in this tutorial https://jquery.com/.

Lastly, this is the link for the bootstrap that I used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating Database

Open your database web server then create a database name in it db_inline_update, after that, click Import, then locate the database file inside the folder of the application then click ok.

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.

<?php
    $conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "db_inline_update");
 
    if(!$conn){
        die("Error: Failed to connect to database!");
    }
?>

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.

Creating PHP Query

This code contains the php query of the application. This code will store the user information to the MySQLi database server. To do that just copy and write this block of codes inside the text editor, then save it as save_user.php.

<?php
    require_once 'conn.php';
 
    if(ISSET($_POST['save'])){
        $firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
        $lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
        $username = $_POST['username'];
        $password = $_POST['password'];
 
        mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO `user` VALUES('', '$firstname', '$lastname', '$username', '$password')") or die(mysqli_error());
 
        header("location: index.php");
    }
?>

Creating the Main Function

This code contains the main function of the application. This code will update the MySQLi table 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 shown below.
