DBConn PHP

This is a useful library to handle common and fast operations on MysQL/MariaDB database engines, using Object notation an taking inspiration from Laravel Eloquent.

Installation

Just install the library via composer running

composer require chrisbaltazar/dbconn 

Requirements

  • PHP >= 7.0

Initial config.

All the necessary configuration is done inside the class constructor, so you all you need to do is have ready the needed CONSTANTS/ENV values before instantiating your DB object.

The list of config fields are:

  • DB_HOST (string)
  • DB_USER (string)
  • DB_PWD (string)
  • DB_NAME (string)
  • DB_DEBUG (bool)
  • SESSION_ID (string) name of the variable into the application session to get the current user
  • TIME_ZONE (string) GMT+1
  • SUMMER_TIME (bool) autocalculate the time changing
  • CHARSET (string) utf8

Additional config.

By default the library also tries to handle the popular tablestamps

  • updated_by
  • updated_at
  • deleted_at

and fill in their values on every query, this is also configured into the constructor so every change you may need can be done extending the class and overriding this part.

The most important thing to remember is that the init method MUST be called after doing the class configuration if you are extending the library

Usage

use chrisbaltazar/dbconn; 

$db = new DBConn(); 

Examples

Getting a list of results from one single table...

$data = $db->from('tablename')->getArray(); 

Maybe a JSON would be more useful for more common cases

$data = $db->from('tablename')->getJSON(); 

Selecting only the fields you need in the consult, (separated by comma)

$data = $db->select('field1, field2, field3')
           ->from('tablename')
           ->getJSON(); 

Every time you need to debug your consult you can use the getSQL method at the end in order to get the query body to be executed before finish.

$data = $db->select('field1, field2, field3')
           ->from('tablename')
           ->getSQL(); 

Let's make a JOIN with more tables

$data = $db->select('field1, field2, field3', 'field4', 'field5')
           ->from('maintable')
           ->join('table2')
           ->join('table3', 1, 'LEFT')
           ->getJSON(); 

// In this case you can declare on the "join" statement the following: 
// 1. Table name for join to 
// 2. Index of target table in the tables array to join with, 
// for this example we have 3 tables in total, counting the main source(from table)
// In this case the index 1 will point to table2 instead of the maintable  which is index o    
// 3. The type of join, INNER by default

by default the joins are done using the common table's id such as id and foreign_id

If you need to specify the ON clause for every JOIN you can use

$data = $db->select('field1, field2, field3', 'field4')
           ->from('maintable')
           ->join('table2')->on('local_id', 'foreign_id')
           ->getJSON();

Now we are separating the fields to extract from each table

$data = $db->select('field1, field2, field3', 'field4', 'field5')
           ->from('maintable')
           ->join('table2')
           ->join('table3', 1, 'LEFT')
           ->getJSON(); 
// This way, we are extracting fields 1, 2 and 3 from table 0 or maintable
// and field4 from the fisrt join, table1 in this case
// the same for field5 which will come from table3 in that order

How about adding an ORDER and GROUP clauses

$data = $db->select('field1, field2, field3')
           ->from('tablename')
           ->order('somefield1, somefield2')
           ->group('someotherfield')
           ->getJSON();

// Also you can specify the scope of the ORDER or GROUP 
// using array notation and index declaration like: 

->order([1 => 'table1_field', 0 => 'table0_field']);

What about "WHERE" clause? Let's see...

$data = $db->select(['field1, field2', 'field3', 'field4'])
           ->from('tablename')
           ->join(['othertablename', 0, 'other_id = main_id'])
           ->join(['anothertablename', 1, 'another_id = other_id', 'LEFT'])
           ->where(['table0field1 = somevalue, table0field2 = 0', 'table1field = somethingelse'])
           ->getJSON();

// The result of the above statement would be: 
...where table0_name.field1 = 'somevalue' 
     and table0_name.field2 = '0' 
     and table1_name.field = 'someothervalue'

Using the SAVE method for INSERTS and UPDATES

$db->save('tablename', ['fieldname' => 'value'...], ['fieldname' => 'value']); 
// Here, you can set an array of values to INSERT or UPDATE the table, 
// which will be auto evaluated depending on the third parameter, the "where" part

Another using of this...

$db->save('tablename', $_POST, ['id' => $_POST['id']); 
// You can see how can be more dynamic than previous using if you like
// In this case, maybe the 'id' could be present or not and the method will 
// evaluate it as well. 

Finally, DELETES...

$db->delete('tablename', $id);
// The DELETE method, will detect if you are passing only a numeric value as condition
// and use it with the table id automatically  
$db->delete('tablename', ['field' => 'value', ...]);
// Or you can either set all the condition fields to make the delete

Please remember that you can set previously the "delete flags" in order to avoid a permanent deletion
