To get PHP to execute the statement above we must use mysqli_query () function. This function is used to send a query or command MySQL connection.

Examples

In the previous section of this tutorial, we have created a directory named "Persons" table, as follows:

FirstName LastName Age
Peter Griffin 35
Glenn Quagmire 33

The following example updates "Persons" some of the data table:

<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","database");
// 检测连接
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
	echo "连接失败: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}

mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE Persons SET Age=36
WHERE FirstName='Peter' AND LastName='Griffin'");

mysqli_close($con);
?>

After this update, "Persons" table is as follows:

FirstName LastName Age
Peter Griffin 36
Glenn Quagmire 33
