PHP-MATLAB-SQL-bridge

A tool for allowing MATLAB scripts to communicate with an SQL database via PHP (using JSON)

This is a tool for development purposes only! It should ideally only be used on the local machine which hosts the SQL database. If that's not possible, SSL must be implemented, since database credentials are sent in the query string as GET parameters to the PHP script.

This tool is to allow MATLAB scripts to communicate with SQL databases via a PHP script. This is occasionally neccessary in development, if you do not have access to the MATLAB Database Toolbox. Obviously, the Database Toolbox should be used in preference to this tool if available.

To Install

• Copy the PHP script to a locally accessible web directory, ensuring all neccessary requirements are implemented for PHP excecution (e.g. under an Apache server).
• Edit dbquery.m with the correct url to the PHP script, and database credentials
• Any SQL statements can be executed using the dbquery function in MATLAB, e.g. data = dbquery('SELECT * FROM mytable')
