Simple Library Management System in PHP using MySQL

This project is the prototype of a Simple Library Management System. Librarian has a provision to add book details like ISBN number, book title, author name, edition, and publication details through the web page. In addition to this, the librarian or any user has a provision to search for the available books in the library by the book name. If book details are present in the database, the search details are displayed on the web page.

This application is partitioned into 5 different files.

  1. To enter book details through an HTML web page – EnterBooks.php
  2. To insert book details into the database – InsertBooks.php
  3. HTML web page to enter book name to be searched – SearchBooks.php
  4. PHP web page to display search results – DisplayBooks.php
  5. Database connection details – DBConnection.php
 
EnterBooks.php
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body bgcolor="87ceeb">
	<center><h2>Simple Library Management System</h2></center>
	<!--Once the form is submitted, all the form data is forwarded to InsertBooks.php -->
	<form action="InsertBooks.php" method="post">

		<table border="2" align="center" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
			<tr>
			<td> Enter ISBN :</td>
			<td> <input type="text" name="isbn" size="48"> </td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td> Enter Title :</td>
			<td> <input type="text" name="title" size="48"> </td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td> Enter Author :</td>
			<td> <input type="text" name="author" size="48"> </td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td> Enter Edition :</td>
			<td> <input type="text" name="edition" size="48"> </td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td> Enter Publication: </td>
			<td> <input type="text" name="publication" size="48"> </td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
			<td></td>
			<td>
			<input type="submit" value="submit">
			<input type="reset" value="Reset">
			</td>
			</tr>
		</table>
	</form>
</body>

DBConnection.php

We are making use of MySQL database server in this application. The URL format and driver name going to be different for different database servers.
<?php
//Establishing connection with the database
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost:3306');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'root123');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'books'); //where books is the database name
$db = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER,DB_USERNAME,DB_PASSWORD,DB_DATABASE);
?>
blank

How to execute this program?

  1. Copy all PHP files to a PHP server. You can use wampserver software which provides an integrated environment to run PHP files along with MySQL database support.
  2. Next, open this PHP file on the browser via localhost URL. For example, http://localhost/EnterBooks.php to insert the book records.
  3. Similarly, do it for http://localhost/SearchBooks.php to search for the book records.

      Hi Puja,

      PHP is a server side scripting language. It executes on the server and only the output is downloaded on the client’s computer whereas the HTML is a client side scripting language and whole code is executed on the client’s computer.

      It is advised to maintain uniformity while building any application.
      We can extend our code anytime to display error messages set from a PHP page on to the form page. You can see this practice followed in the in Java login/registration application.
