Simple Profile Update in PHP
In this tutorial, we will create a Simple Profile Update using PHP. This code will launch a modal to update the user profile when the user clicks the update button. The code uses the MySQLi UPDATE query to update the user’s current profile into a brand new one base on the given user id. 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_profile; 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
$conn=mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "db_profile");
if(!$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 the Main Function
This code contains the main function of the application. This code will update the user profile 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 update_profile.php
<?php
require_once 'conn.php';
if(ISSET($_POST['update'])){
$image_name = $_FILES['profile']['name'];
$image_temp = $_FILES['profile']['tmp_name'];
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$current = $_POST['current'];
$exp = explode(".", $image_name);
$end = end($exp);
$name = time().".".$end;
$path = "profile/".$name;
$allowed_ext = array("gif", "jpg", "jpeg", "png");
if(in_array($end, $allowed_ext)){
if(unlink("profile/".$current)){
if(move_uploaded_file($image_temp, $path)){
mysqli_query($conn, "UPDATE `user` set `firstname` = '$firstname', `lastname` = '$lastname', `profile` = '$path' WHERE `user_id` = '1'") or die(mysqli_error());
echo "<script>alert('User account updated!')</script>";
header("location: index.php");
}
}
}else{
echo "<script>alert('Image only')</script>";
}
}
