For testing purposes I had to deploy a wordpress installation and perform some work. As the standalone installation with wamp/mamp/xampp software would require time, I chose docker and containers for the deployment.
You can use the below docker-compose.yml file and have a working site stack in less than a minute.
Lets assume you got a MYSQL database that contains data for your application and you want to consume this information on a C# Application in order to handle it on a client.
For the sake of this example the following table will be parsed
As depicted the following information is returned from the api:
the state of the response (succeeded or not)
a message that will show the response result
the actual result that in this case is a list of trips
Each trip contains id, fromlocation, tolocation, date and time properties that have to be returned to the application.
The php code that was used to create the data from the database is the following:
So in order to parse this json result we will need a plugin like Newtonsoft.Json
The class that will be used to encapsulate the response would be the following:
public class GetTrips
{
[JsonProperty("success")]
public int Success { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("message")]
public string Message { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("trips")]
public Trip[] Trips { get; set; }
public class Trip
{
[JsonProperty("id")]
public string Id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("fromlocation")]
public string FromLocation { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("tolocation")]
public string ToLocation { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("date")]
public string Date { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("time")]
public string Time { get; set; }
}
}
And then we will consume the json response with the following code in C#. In this example data from the API came from a POST request on a web Form.
public async TaskGetTripsAsync(string username,string password)
{
try
{
var keyValues = new Liststring, string>>
{
new KeyValuePair("username",username),
new KeyValuePair("password",password)
};
var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, Url);
request.Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(keyValues);
var client = new HttpClient();
var result = await client.SendAsync(request);
var content = await result.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var tripsResult = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject (content);
return tripsResult;
}
catch (Exception)
{
return null;
}
}
A few days ago i activated Azure for students through Dreamspark. I am very happy microsoft give those tools for free in students. After searching the options that are available for free, i found that i could use some mysql databases. As mysql is very common and frequently used, i created a database and wanted to add some data. Unfortunately i couldn’t find a tool for managing the database. As you may know most linux servers come with phpmyadmin pre-installed. So what about Azure?
There are many options for Azure.
You can connect to your database with mysql commands using mysql command line tool.
You can download a GUI tool and do the work (mysql workbench)
You can use any php code to connect.
So here comes this github project with which you can connect on a mysql database that is stored in Azure.
See more details in the below pictures
First of all you must create a mysql database.
After you create the database you must press properties window to see the connection credentials. Those are: Host name, Database Name, Username, Password.
Then you are ready to start using your mysql database. And here comes the PHPqAzure.
As you can see, after entering your credentials you can run your queries. Query result is returned after query is executed.
Example:
Create a test table.
Add some data
And you are ready. You can see the result with a mysql GUI management tool like Mysql Workbench.
You can perform as many queries as you want. Make sure your queries executed successfully with the results tab.
If i enter something wrong then the result will inform me for that.
