Ai

Let's create a simple PHP script that interacts with a MySQL database to perform a basic AI function. In this example, we'll build a very rudimentary recommendation system. This system will recommend items to a user based on their previous selections.

Requirements

PHP environment (like XAMPP)
MySQL Database
PHP MySQLi extension (usually included in PHP installations)

Database Setup

Let's assume you have a MySQL database with the following tables:

searchItems: Contains items that can be recommended.

Here's a simplified structure for these tables:

CREATE TABLE searchItems (
   id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
   name VARCHAR(100)
);

PHP Script

The following PHP script demonstrates how you might write a simple recommendation algorithm. This script will recommend items that have not been selected by the user but are popular among other users

<?php
class DatabaseOperations {
    private $conn;

    public function __construct($servername, $username, $password, $dbname) {
        $this->conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
        if ($this->conn->connect_error) {
            die("Connection failed: " . $this->conn->connect_error);
        }
    }

    public function searchItems($searchTerm) {
        $searchTerm = $this->conn->real_escape_string($searchTerm);
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM articles WHERE description LIKE '%$searchTerm%' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1";
        $result = $this->conn->query($sql);
        $items = array();
        if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
            while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
                $items[] = $row;
            }
        }
        return $items;
    }
    public function closeConnection() {
        $this->conn->close();
    }
}
?>

index.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Item Search</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Search for Items</h1>
<form method="get" action="index.php">
    <input type="text" name="searchTerm" placeholder="Enter search term" required>
    <input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>

<?php
if (isset($_GET['searchTerm'])) {
    require_once 'DatabaseOperations.php';
    $db = new DatabaseOperations('localhost', 'root', 'root', 'db');
    $searchTerm = $_GET['searchTerm'];

    $results = $db->searchItems($searchTerm);
    if (count($results) > 0) {
        echo "<h2>Search Results:</h2>";
        echo "<ul>";
        foreach ($results as $item) {
            echo "<li>" . htmlspecialchars_decode($item['description']) . "</li>";
        }
        echo "</ul>";
    } else {
        echo "<p>No items found.</p>";
    }

    $db->closeConnection();
}
?>
</body>
</html>

Explanation

This script connects to a MySQL database.
The function searchItems takes a user ID and finds the top 5 items that the user has not selected but are popular among other users.
We test the function by passing a user ID (assumed to be 1 in this example) and output the recommendations.

Note

Replace localhost, your_username, your_password, and your_dbname with your actual database details.
This is a basic example. Real-world applications would need a more sophisticated approach, especially for more complex AI functionalities.
Ensure your PHP environment is configured correctly to connect to MySQL.
