Referensi:Apa contoh kode yang sempurna menggunakan ekstensi MySQL?

Saya menusuk itu. Mencoba membuatnya sesederhana mungkin, sambil tetap mempertahankan beberapa kenyamanan dunia nyata.

Menangani unicode dan menggunakan perbandingan longgar agar mudah dibaca. Bersikaplah baik;-)

<?php

header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
// display_errors can be changed to 0 in production mode to
// suppress PHP's error messages

/*
Can be used for testing
$_POST['id'] = 1;
$_POST['name'] = 'Markus';
*/

$config = array(
    'host' => '127.0.0.1', 
    'user' => 'my_user', 
    'pass' => 'my_pass', 
    'db' => 'my_database'
);

# Connect and disable mysql error output
$connection = @mysql_connect($config['host'], 
    $config['user'], $config['pass']);

if (!$connection) {
    trigger_error('Unable to connect to database: ' 
        . mysql_error(), E_USER_ERROR);
}

if (!mysql_select_db($config['db'])) {
    trigger_error('Unable to select db: ' . mysql_error(), 
        E_USER_ERROR);
}

if (!mysql_set_charset('utf8')) {
    trigger_error('Unable to set charset for db connection: ' 
        . mysql_error(), E_USER_ERROR);
}

$result = mysql_query(
    'UPDATE tablename SET name = "' 
    . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']) 
    . '" WHERE id = "' 
    . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['id']) . '"'
);

if ($result) {
    echo htmlentities($_POST['name'], ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8') 
        . ' updated.';
} else {
    trigger_error('Unable to update db: ' 
        . mysql_error(), E_USER_ERROR);
}
