Encloses your application's database scripts within a simple and standardised interface, separating database access from your application logic.
The first parameter to any database functions is always the query name, which represents a query file on disk - either a raw SQL file or a PHP representation of a query using SqlBuilder.
This library organises SQL access through a consistent API. To execute an example query located at src/query/user/getById.sql
, the following pattern is used:
$userRow = $db->fetch("user/getById", 105);
Examples of CRUD operations:
// "fetchAll" method returns an iterable ResultSet of Row objects. $bookResultSet = $db->fetchAll("shopitem/getItemsInCategory", "books"); foreach($bookResultSet as $bookRow) { echo "Book title: ", $bookRow->getString("title"), PHP_EOL; echo "Book price: £", ($bookRow->getFloat("price") + $bookRow->getFloat("vat")), PHP_EOL; if($bookRow->offerEnds) { echo "Item on offer until: ", $bookRow->getDateTime("offerEnds")->format("dS M Y"); } } // "Create" method always returns the last inserted ID: $newCustomerId = $db->create("customer/new", [ "first_name" => "Marissa", "last_name" => "Mayer", "dob" => new DateTime("1975-05-30"), ]); // "Update" or "delete" methods always return the number of affected rows: $numberOfItemsAffected = $db->update("shop/item/increasePrice", [ "percent" => 12.5, "max_increase" => 20.00, ]); $numberOfDeletedReviews = $db->delete( "remove/deleteOlderThan", new DateTime("-6 months") ); // Individual type-safe fields can be pulled from queries that return only one column: $userName = $db->fetchString("user/getUsernameById", 105);
- Automatic database migrations
- Encapsulation of queries using
