SimpleMySQL

• Tired of scouring php.net for the function names to utilize PDO every time you need to interact with MySQL?
• Frustrated with the amount of redundant code you have to write to build a result set that's easily usable by your application? (I mean all you want to do is SELECT * FROM table WHERE col = ? and display the results as html table rows...why are you now thinking about data types of parameters which you'll have to bind to a prepared statement...why are you wasting time?)
• Stuck working outside modern php frameworks that include fancy ORMS?
• Want simplicity in database interaction without the bloat of a full fledged ORM?
• Are you a sane rational human being (or other form of entity which possesses a rational thought pattern)?

If you have answered YES to any of the above, SimpleMySQL might be right for you. Please consult with your senior developer today!

Install via composer

composer require whitwhoa/simple-mysql

Usage

use whitwhoa\SimpleMySQL\MySQLCon;

/**
 * First parameter is an array of the following:
 *
 * [
 *      host, username, password, database
 * ]
 *
 * It is advised to store this information in a directory outside
 * of your webroot if using this package within a web application.
 * (for example create a file called connections.php containing multiple
 * array variables with connection details for various connections, include
 * the file at the top of your script and pass the variable containing the
 * connection information you wish to instantiate a MySQLCon object for.)
 *
 * If boolean true is passed as second parameter, error reporting will be turned on
 * (don't do this in production). Class could be updated to print more detailed errors.
 *
 */
$db = new MySQLCon(['localhost', 'root', 'root', 'testDB'], true);

// Obtain results as an array of stdClass objects
$users = $db->query('SELECT * FROM users')->asObj()->exec();
foreach($users as $u){
    echo $u->email . "\n";
}

// Obtain a single row as an stdClass object
$user = $db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", [7])->singleAsObj()->exec();
echo $user->email;

// Obtain results as an array of associative arrays
$users = $db->query('SELECT * FROM users')->asArray()->exec();
foreach($users as $u){
    echo $u['email'] . "\n";
}
  
// Obtain a single row as an associative array
$user = $db->query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", [7])->singleAsArray()->exec();
echo $user['email'];

// Insert a new record and obtain it's primary key value
$id = $db->query("INSERT INTO test(name) VALUES(?)", ['Richard'])->exec();
echo $id;

// Update an existing record (returns void)
$db->query("UPDATE test SET name = ? WHERE id = ?", ['Tom', 3])->exec();

// Delete an existing record (returns void)
$db->query("DELETE FROM test WHERE id = ?", [3])->exec();
