Sending Arduino data to MySQL using phpMyAdmin and XAMPP using Windows10 I want to send my Arduino's sensor data to a MySQL database, using XAMPP and phpMyAdmin. I have been using an ESP8266 for the wifi connection. But I am unable to send the value. And actually I have to send four values, but for the time being I am sending only one value. So also please tell how to send multiple values. I have written the PHP file and saved in to Apache's htdocs.

#include &lt;WiFiEsp.h&gt;
#include &lt;WiFiEspClient.h&gt;
#include &lt;WiFiEspUdp.h&gt;
#include &lt;SoftwareSerial.h&gt;
#include &lt;PubSubClient.h&gt;
#include &lt;SPI.h&gt;
IPAddress ip(192,168,8,1);
char ssid[] = "ZONG MBB-E8372-B67D"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "08522547"; // your network password
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS; // the Wifi radio's status
int photocellPin = 4; // Analog input pin on Arduino we connected the SIG pin from sensor
int photocellReading; // Here we will place our reading
char server[] =  "192.168.8.1";
// Initialize the Ethernet client object
WiFiEspClient espclient;
SoftwareSerial soft(2,3); // RX, TX

void setup() {
  // initialize serial for debugging
  Serial.begin(115200);
  // initialize serial for ESP module
  soft.begin(115200);
  // initialize ESP module
  WiFi.init(&amp;soft);
  // check for the presence of the shield
  if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
    Serial.println("WiFi shield not present");
    // don't continue
    while (true);
  }
  // attempt to connect to WiFi network
  while ( status != WL_CONNECTED) {
    Serial.print("Attempting to connect to WPA SSID: ");
    Serial.println(ssid);
    // Connect to WPA/WPA2 network
    status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
  }
  // you're connected now, so print out the data
  Serial.println("You're connected to the network");
}

void loop() {
  photocellReading = analogRead(photocellPin);
  // Fill the sensorReading with the information from sensor
  // Connect to the server (your computer or web page)
  if (espclient.connect(server, 80)) {
    espclient.println("GET /write_data7.php?"); // This
    espclient.println("value="); // This
    espclient.println(photocellReading);
    // And this is what we did in the testing section above.
    // We are making a GET request just like we would from our browser
    // but now with live data from the sensor
    espclient.println(" HTTP/1.1"); // Part of the GET request
    espclient.println("Host: 192.168.8.1");
    // IMPORTANT: If you are using XAMPP you will have
    //to find out the IP address of your computer and put it here
    // (it is explained in previous article). If you have a web page,
    // enter its address (ie.Host: "www.yourwebpage.com")
    espclient.println("Connection: close");
    // Part of the GET request telling the server
    // that we are over transmitting the message
    espclient.println(); // Empty line
    espclient.println(); // Empty line
    espclient.stop();    // Closing connection to server
  } else {
    // If Arduino can't connect to the server (your computer or web page)
    Serial.println("--&gt; connection failed\n");
  }

  // Give the server some time to recieve the data and store it. I used 10 seconds here. Be advised when delaying. If u use a short delay, the server might not capture data because of Arduino transmitting new data too soon.
  delay(10000);
}


Following is the PHP code:

&lt;?php
//connecting to the database
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'connected_car_1');
define('DB_USER','Maryam1');
define('DB_PASSWORD','telecom1213');

$con=mysql_connect(DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASSWORD) or die("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error());
$db=mysql_select_db(DB_NAME,$con) or die("Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error());

$sql = "INSERT INTO connected_car_1.sensor (value) VALUES ('".$_GET["value"]."')";
// Execute SQL statement
mysql_query($sql,$con);
mysql_close($con);
?&gt;


And this is my serial monitor output:



I am very new to coding in Arduino as well as PHP and databases. So kindly tell me what I am doing wrong. And do I have to provide the IP address of the server, ie. 127.0.0.1? If yes, then where?
You should write the PC IP, for example: 192.168.1.53, because 127.0.0.1 is the IP used only for phpmyadmin and the database inside your computer.
