How to perform modification operations in PHP

PHP is an open source server-side scripting language widely used in web development and can be embedded in HTML and can also be run on the command line.

In PHP, it is usually necessary to modify data. Therefore, this article will introduce how to perform modification operations in PHP.

1. Modify the values ​​in the array

In PHP, to modify the value of the elements in the array, you can access specific elements through the key name (subscript) and change their values. An example is as follows:

<?php $fruits = array("apple", "banana", "orange");

//修改数组元素的值
$fruits[0] = "pear";
$fruits[1] = "grape";
$fruits[2] = "kiwi";

print_r($fruits);
?>

The above code will output the following result:

Array
(
[0] => pear
[1] => grape
[2] => kiwi
)

2. Modify the string

In PHP, to modify the value of a string, you can use multiple A method, such as using the string concatenation operator (".") to connect two strings, or using the substr() function to intercept part of a string. An example is as follows:

<?php $str = "Hello, PHP!";

//concatenate two strings
$str = $str . " I am learning PHP.";

//substring of a string
$str = substr($str, 0, 12) . "world!" . substr($str, 23);

echo $str;
?>

The above code will output the following results:

Hello, world! I am learning PHP.

3. Modify the records in the database

In PHP, to modify the records in the database, you need to use SQL UPDATE statement. Here is an example:

<?php //连接数据库
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "dbname");

//检查连接是否成功
if (!$conn) {
    die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}

//定义SQL语句
$sql = "UPDATE users SET name=&#39;John Smith&#39;, email=&#39;john@example.com&#39; WHERE id=1";

//执行SQL语句
if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
    echo "Record updated successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error updating record: " . mysqli_error($conn);
}

//关闭数据库连接
mysqli_close($conn);
?>

The above code will update the name and email of the user with id 1.
