How To Create Database For Library Management System

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, 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> </html>

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); ?>
