Step 3: Proof of concept connecting to SQL using PHP
Step 1: Connect
This OpenConnection function is called near the top in all of the functions that follow.
function OpenConnection()
{
$serverName = "tcp:myserver.database.windows.net,1433";
$connectionOptions = array("Database"=>"AdventureWorks",
"Uid"=>"MyUser", "PWD"=>"MyPassword");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect($serverName, $connectionOptions);
if($conn == false)
die(FormatErrors(sqlsrv_errors()));
return $conn;
}
Step 2: Execute query
The sqlsrv_query() function can be used to retrieve a result set from a query against SQL Database. This function essentially accepts any query and the connection object and returns a result set, which can be iterated over with the use of sqlsrv_fetch_array().
function ReadData()
{
try
{
$conn = OpenConnection();
$tsql = "SELECT [CompanyName] FROM SalesLT.Customer";
$getProducts = sqlsrv_query($conn, $tsql);
if ($getProducts == FALSE)
die(FormatErrors(sqlsrv_errors()));
$productCount = 0;
while($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($getProducts, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo($row['CompanyName']);
echo("<br/>");
$productCount++;
}
sqlsrv_free_stmt($getProducts);
sqlsrv_close($conn);
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
echo("Error!");
}
}
Step 3: Insert a row
In this example, you'll see how to execute an INSERT statement safely and pass parameters. Parameter values protect your application from SQL injection.
function InsertData()
{
try
{
$conn = OpenConnection();
$tsql = "INSERT SalesLT.Product (Name, ProductNumber, StandardCost, ListPrice, SellStartDate) OUTPUT"
. " INSERTED.ProductID VALUES ('SQL Server 1', 'SQL Server 2', 0, 0, getdate())";
//Insert query
$insertReview = sqlsrv_query($conn, $tsql);
if($insertReview == FALSE)
die(FormatErrors( sqlsrv_errors()));
echo "Product Key inserted is :";
while($row = sqlsrv_fetch_array($insertReview, SQLSRV_FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo($row['ProductID']);
}
sqlsrv_free_stmt($insertReview);
sqlsrv_close($conn);
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
echo("Error!");
}
}
Step 4: Roll back a transaction
This code example demonstrates the use of transactions in which you:
Begin a transaction
Insert a row of data, Update another row of data
Commit your transaction if the insert and update were successful and roll back the transaction if one of them wasn't
function Transactions()
{
try
{
$conn = OpenConnection();
if (sqlsrv_begin_transaction($conn) == FALSE)
die(FormatErrors(sqlsrv_errors()));
$tsql1 = "INSERT INTO SalesLT.SalesOrderDetail (SalesOrderID,OrderQty,ProductID,UnitPrice)
VALUES (71774, 22, 709, 33)";
$stmt1 = sqlsrv_query($conn, $tsql1);
/* Set up and execute the second query. */
$tsql2 = "UPDATE SalesLT.SalesOrderDetail SET OrderQty = (OrderQty + 1) WHERE ProductID = 709";
$stmt2 = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $tsql2);
/* If both queries were successful, commit the transaction. */
/* Otherwise, rollback the transaction. */
if($stmt1 && $stmt2)
{
sqlsrv_commit($conn);
echo("Transaction was commited");
}
else
{
sqlsrv_rollback($conn);
echo "Transaction was rolled back.\n";
}
/* Free statement and connection resources. */
sqlsrv_free_stmt( $stmt1);
sqlsrv_free_stmt( $stmt2);
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
echo("Error!");
}
}
