</head>
<body>
<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = 'root@123';
$dbname = 'ADGLOB';
$mysqli = new mysqli($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname);
if($mysqli->connect_errno ) {
printf("Connect failed: %s<br />", $mysqli->connect_error);
exit();
}
printf('Connected successfully.<br />');
if ($mysqli->query('UPDATE adglob_tbl set adglob_title = "Learning Java" where adglob_id = 4')) {
printf("Table adglob_tbl updated successfully.<br />");
}
if ($mysqli->errno) {
printf("Could not update table: %s<br />", $mysqli->error);
}
$sql = "SELECT adglob_id, adglob_title, adglob_author, submission_date FROM adglob_tbl";
$result = $mysqli->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
printf("Id: %s, Title: %s, Author: %s, Date: %d <br />",
$row["adglob_id"],
$row["adglob_title"],
$row["adglob_author"],
$row["submission_date"]);
}

}
mysqli_free_result($result);
$mysqli->close();
