How to write a transfer in PHP

In today's financial field, fund transfers between accounts have become a common operation in daily life. In web development, this kind of operation is also very common. PHP is a language widely used in web development because of its relatively simple learning curve and strong scalability. In PHP, we can easily implement the account transfer function. Next, this article will take you to learn account transfer in PHP.

Before we start, we need to clarify a concept: the core of fund transfer lies in operating the database. No matter what language you use for development, you will eventually need to operate on the database.

First, we need to create two tables in the database, one is the user table and the other is the transfer record table. In the users table, we record each user's account balance, as well as other relevant information such as phone number, email address, etc. In the transfer record table, we record transfer information between users, such as transfer amount, time, transferor and beneficiary. These two tables can be created using relational databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL. Here we take MySQL as an example.

CREATE TABLE users (
    id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    email VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    phone VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
    balance DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL
);

CREATE TABLE transfers (
    id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    from_user_id INT(11) NOT NULL,
    to_user_id INT(11) NOT NULL,
    amount DECIMAL(10,2) NOT NULL,
    date DATETIME NOT NULL,
    FOREIGN KEY (from_user_id) REFERENCES users(id),
    FOREIGN KEY (to_user_id) REFERENCES users(id)
);

The above are the SQL statements to create two tables. We can execute these statements manually or use PHP code to create them.

Next, we need to connect to the database in PHP code and use the MySQLi extension in PHP to create a connection:

<?php $host = &#39;localhost&#39;;
$username = &#39;your_username&#39;;
$password = &#39;your_password&#39;;
$dbname = &#39;your_database&#39;;

$mysqli = new mysqli($host, $username, $password, $dbname);

if ($mysqli->connect_error) {
    die('连接数据库失败: ' . $mysqli->connect_error);
}

echo '连接数据库成功！';
?>

Next, we need to implement transfer operations between users. First, we need to check whether the account balances of both parties to the transfer meet the transfer conditions. If the conditions are met, we need to use MySQL's transaction function to perform atomic operations on data. The following is the code that uses the MySQLi extension to implement the transfer operation:

<?php $mysqli->autocommit(FALSE); // 开始事务

$from_user_id = 1;
$to_user_id = 2;
$amount = 500;

// 查询原账户余额
$result = $mysqli->query("SELECT balance FROM users WHERE id=$from_user_id");
$row = $result->fetch_assoc();
$from_user_balance = $row['balance'];
$result->free();

if ($from_user_balance >= $amount) {
    $result = $mysqli->query("SELECT balance FROM users WHERE id=$to_user_id");
    $row = $result->fetch_assoc();
    $to_user_balance = $row['balance'];
    $result->free();

    $from_user_balance -= $amount;
    $to_user_balance += $amount;

    $mysqli->query("UPDATE users SET balance=$from_user_balance WHERE id=$from_user_id");
    $mysqli->query("UPDATE users SET balance=$to_user_balance WHERE id=$to_user_id");

    $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO transfers (from_user_id, to_user_id, amount, date) VALUES ($from_user_id, $to_user_id, $amount, NOW())");

    if ($mysqli->commit()) {
        echo "转账成功！";
    } else {
        echo "转账失败！";
    }
} else {
    echo "账户余额不足！";
}

$mysqli->close();
?>

The above code implements the operation of transferring 500 yuan from account 1 to account 2. In the code, we first enable the transaction function of MySQL to ensure the atomicity of the data. Then, we query the account balances of Account 1 and Account 2 and update the database records. Finally, we recorded the transfer information in the transfer record table.

To summarize, the steps to implement transfer operations in PHP are as follows:

1. Create user form and transfer record form
2. Connect to database
3. Query account Whether the balance meets the transfer conditions
4. Open the transaction and perform database operations
5. Record the transfer record
6. Submit the transaction

It is worth noting that in actual During development, in order to ensure program security and data integrity, we need to perform error handling and data verification.

After studying the above content, I believe you have mastered the method of implementing transfer operations in PHP. In actual development, we need to apply it flexibly according to actual conditions and follow good programming practices to ensure the readability and maintainability of the code.
