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.
- To enter book details through an HTML web page – EnterBooks.php
- To insert book details into the database – InsertBooks.php
- HTML web page to enter book name to be searched – SearchBooks.php
- PHP web page to display search results – DisplayBooks.php
- Database connection details – DBConnection.php

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);
?>
How to execute this program?
- 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.
- Next, open this PHP file on the browser via localhost URL. For example,
http://localhost/EnterBooks.phpto insert the book records. - Similarly, do it for
http://localhost/SearchBooks.phpto search for the book records.

how should I connect to database using oracle 10g username and password?
Hi Chaitali,
You can update the connection details in DBConnection.php. You will have to use Oracle 10g supported functions for all the DB operations.

Hi,
I believe it is getting failed at insert query. Please check your database connection and the book_info table structure.
