PHP - Marquee Scrolling Link With MySQLi

Submitted by razormist on Wednesday, August 1, 2018 - 18:16.

In this tutorial we will create a Marquee Scrolling Link With MySQLi. PHP is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for web development. Using PHP, you can let your user directly interact with the script and easily to learned its syntax. It is mostly used by a newly coders for its user friendly environment. So Let's do the coding...

Before we get started:

First you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that run PHP scripts. Here's the link for XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html. And this is the link for the jquery that i used in this tutorial https://jquery.com/. Lastly, this is the link for the bootstrap that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating Database

Open your database web server then create a database name in it db_marquee, after that click Import then locate the database file inside the folder of the application then click ok. tut1

Creating the database connection

Open your any kind of text editor(notepad++, etc..). Then just copy/paste the code below then name it conn.php.

<?php
        $conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'root', '', 'db_marquee');
        
        if(!$conn){
                die("Error: Failed to connect to database!");
        }
?>

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as shown below.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
        <head>
                <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
        </head>
<body>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="container-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-3"></div>
        <div class="col-md-6 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">PHP - Marquee Scrolling Link With MySQLi</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
                <button class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#form_modal">Add Link Source</button>
                <br /><br />
                <div class="alert alert-warning">Link List</div>
                <div style="margin-top:30px;">
                        <marquee direction="down"  scrolldelay="150" onmouseout="this.start()" onmouseover="this.stop()">
                                <?php
                                        require 'conn.php';
                                        
                                        $query = $conn->query("SELECT * FROM `link`");
                                        while($fetch = $query->fetch_array()){
                                ?>
                                        <a href="<?php echo $fetch['link_url']?>" style="font-size:20px; padding:10px;" scrolldelay=""><?php echo $fetch['link_title']?></a><br /><br />
                                <?php
                                        }
                                ?>
                                
                        </marquee>
                </div>
        </div>
        
        <div class="modal fade" id="form_modal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true">
                <div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
                        <form action="save_query.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                                <div class="modal-content">
                                        <div class="modal-body">
                                                <div class="col-md-2"></div>
                                                <div class="col-md-8">
                                                        <div class="form-group">
                                                                <label>Link Title</label>
                                                                <input class="form-control" type="text" name="link" required="required" />
                                                        </div>
                                                        <div class="form-group">
                                                                <label>Link URL</label>
                                                                <input class="form-control" type="url" name="url" required="required"/>
                                                        </div>
                                                </div>
                                        </div>
                                        <div style="clear:both;"></div>
                                        <div class="modal-footer">
                                                <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" data-dismiss="modal"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></span> Close</button>
                                                <button name="save" class="btn btn-primary"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-save"></span> Save</button>
                                        </div>
                                </div>
                        </form>
                </div>
        </div>
</body>
<script src="js/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap.js"></script>
</html>

Creating PHP Query

This code contains the php query of the application. This code will store the url links to the database server and later will be retrieve as a marquee data To do that just copy and write this block of codes inside the text editor, then save it as save_query.php.

<?php
        require_once 'conn.php';
        
        if(ISSET($_POST['save'])){
                $link = $_POST['link']; 
                $url = $_POST['url'];
                
                $conn->query("INSERT INTO `link` VALUES('', '$link', '$url')");
                
                header('location: index.php');
        }
?>

There you have it we successfully created Marquee Scrolling Link With MySQLi. I hope that this simple tutorial help you to what you are looking for. For more updates and tutorials just kindly visit this site. Enjoy Coding!
