FOREIGNKEY
MAPPINGIN
PHP
Introduction
Foreign keys are an integral part of
relational databases. Foreign keys can be
used to link a field in one table (or a
collection of fields) with the primary key of
another table. Foreign key mapping links
two database tables together using a
foreign key. Foreign key mapping ensures
that data in linked tables remains consistent
and accurate.
Managing Foreign Keys
in PHP: Overview
Define Database Schema: Define your database schema including tables and
their relationships.
Create Database Connection: Connect to Database with PDO/MySQLi
Libraries
Querying Data: use SQL JOINs to fetch related data from multiple tables
based on foreign key relationships.
Inserting Data: Ensure that foreign key constraints are met when entering
data into tables
Managing Foreign Keys
in PHP: Overview
Updating Data: Again ensure that foreign key constraints are maintained.
Deleting Data: Delete data from tables keeping in mind the foreign key
relationships in your table.
Error Handling: Handle errors gracefully, especially when dealing with
foreign key constraints violations.
5
Key points
Sanitize user inputs to
prevent SQL injection
attacks.
Handle errors
effectively for robust
database operations.
Consider using ORM
libraries like Doctrine
or Eloquent for
advanced interactions.
