In this tutorial, we are going to learn on how to create registration page using PHP/MySQL but with the use of PDO query. In this article, the user types their information in the form field to save in the database. After saving the data, the alert message will pop up and said: "Account successfully added!".

Creating our Table

We are going to make our database. To create a database:

Open the PHPMyAdmin.
Create a database and name it as "registration_pdo".
After creating a database name, then we are going to create our table. And name it as "user_registration".

Kindly copy the code below.

--
-- Table structure for table `user_registration`
--
 
CREATE TABLE `user_registration` (
  `user_id` INT(11) NOT NULL,
  `first_name` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
  `last_name` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
  `user_name` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
  `password` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Second, we are going to make our form field.

Creating Form Field

This form field that the user types their information to save in the database.

<form method="post" action="insert_query.php">
 
<h2>Registration Form</h2>
<table border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" width="80%">
        <tr>
                <td><label>First Name</label></td>
                <td><input type="text" name="first_name" autofocus="autofocus"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td><label>Last Name</label></td>
                <td><input type="text" name="last_name" autofocus="autofocus"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td><label>User Name</label></td>
                <td><input type="text" name="user_name" autofocus="autofocus"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td><label>Password</label></td>
                <td><input type="password" name="password" autofocus="autofocus"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td colspan="2">
                        <button class="submit_btn" type="submit" name="submit">Register</button>
                        <button class="cancel_btn" type="reset" name="cancel">Cancel</button>
                </td>
        </tr>
</table>
 
</form>

Third, we are going to make our database connection.

Database Connection

This PHP Script is our database. Copy and paste this then save it as "connection.php".

<?php
$db_server = "localhost";
$db_username = "root";
$db_password = "";
$db_database = "registration_pdo";
 
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$db_server;dbname=$db_database", $db_username, $db_password);
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
?>

Fourth, we are going to make our saving PHP Script.

Saving Script - PHP

This step is to create our saving script for our data to save in the database and save it as "insert_query.php".

<?php
$db_server = "localhost";
$db_username = "root";
$db_password = "";
$db_database = "registration_pdo";
 
$first_name=$_POST['first_name'];
$last_name=$_POST['last_name'];
$user_name=$_POST['user_name'];
$password1=$_POST['password'];
 
$conn = new PDO("mysql:host=$db_server;dbname=$db_database", $db_username, $db_password);
 
$conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$sql = "INSERT INTO user_registration (first_name, last_name, user_name, password)
VALUES ('$first_name', '$last_name', '$user_name', '$password1')";
 
$conn->exec($sql);
echo "<script>alert('Account successfully added!'); window.location='index.php'</script>";
?>

And, this is our style for the layout of the Form Field.

<style type="text/css">
body {
        width:600px;
        border:red 1px solid;
        border-style:dashed;
        margin:auto;
        padding:10px;
}
td {
        text-align:center;
        padding:10px;
}
table {
        margin:auto;
}
input[type="text"] {
        width:150px;
    font-size: 18px;
    border: blue 1px solid;
    text-indent: 5px;
        cursor:pointer;
}
input[type="password"] {
        width:150px;
    font-size: 18px;
    border: blue 1px solid;
    text-indent: 5px;
        cursor:pointer;
}
label {
        font-size:18px;
        color:blue;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-family: cursive;
}
h2 {
        color:red;
        text-align:center;
}
.submit_btn {
        margin-right: 70px;
    border: blue 1px solid;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-family: cursive;
    padding: 5px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: blue;
    background: azure;
    border-radius: 4px;
}
.submit_btn:hover {
        margin-right: 70px;
    border: red 1px solid;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-family: cursive;
    padding: 5px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: white;
    background: blue;
    border-radius: 4px;
        cursor:pointer;
}
.cancel_btn {
    border: red 1px solid;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-family: cursive;
    padding: 5px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: red;
    background: azure;
    border-radius: 4px;
}
.cancel_btn:hover {
    border: blue 1px solid;
    font-size: 18px;
    font-family: cursive;
    padding: 5px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: white;
    background: red;
    border-radius: 4px;
        cursor:pointer;
}
</style>
