• Smart join builder
• Simple API based on PDO and SQL syntax
• Build SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE & Delete queries
• Small and fast
• Type hinting with code completion in smart IDEs
• Requires PHP 5.1+ with any database supported by PDO

Install

Composer

The preferred way to install FluentPDO is via composer.

Add in your composer.json:

"require": {
	...
	"lichtner/fluentpdo": "dev-master"	
}

then update your dependencies with composer update.

Copy

If you are not familiar with composer just copy /FluentPDO directory into your libs/ directory then:

include "libs/FluentPDO/FluentPDO.php";
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:dbname=fblog", "root");
$fpdo = new FluentPDO($pdo);

First example

FluentPDO is easy to use:

$query = $fpdo->from('article')
			->where('published_at > ?', $date)
			->orderBy('published_at DESC')
			->limit(5);
if ($user_id) {
	$query = $query
			->where('user_id', $user_id)
			->select('user.name');        // this join table user
}
foreach ($query as $row) {
	echo "$row[name] - $row[title]\n";
}

And executed query is:

SELECT article.*, user.name
FROM article
		LEFT JOIN user ON user.id = article.user_id
WHERE published_at > ? AND user_id = ?
ORDER BY published_at DESC
LIMIT 5
