Requirements

PHP ^7.4, PHP 8.x

Documentation

The documentation for PowerLite PDO is available on the PowerLite PDO website.

In addition to the documentation, a PHPDoc is also available here for more detailed information about the classes, methods, and their parameters.

Installation

Clone / download or install with Composer

composer require migliori/power-lite-pdo

Configuration

Open src/connection.php in your code editor and replace the constant's values with your database connection settings (DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASS, DB_PORT, DB_CHARSET).

Security concerns

For enhanced safety, store the file outside of your web server's document root (the directory that is served to the internet) and change the path accordingly in the configuration file (src/config.php). This prevents the file from being directly accessible via a URL.

Usage/Examples

Select records using the main Db class

1. Include the bootstrap file and get the Db instance from the container:

   use Migliori\PowerLitePdo\Db;
   
   // Build the container and connect to the database
   $container = require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/migliori/power-lite-pdo/src/bootstrap.php';
   $db = $container->get(Db::class);

2. Use the select method from the Db class to select some records:

   $from = 'users'; // The table name
   $fields = ['id', 'username', 'email']; // The columns you want to select
   $where = ['status' => 'active']; // The conditions for the WHERE clause
   
   $db->select($from, $fields, $where);

3. Fetch the selected records one by one:

   while ($record = $db->fetch()) {
       echo $record->id . ', ' . $record->username . ', ' . $record->email . "\n";
   }

Select records using the fluent QueryBuilder

1. Include the bootstrap file and get the QueryBuilder instance from the container:

   use Migliori\PowerLitePdo\Query\QueryBuilder;
   
   // Build the container and connect to the database
   $container = require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/migliori/power-lite-pdo/src/bootstrap.php';
   $queryBuilder = $container->get(QueryBuilder::class);

2. Use the QueryBuilder to select some records:

   $queryBuilder->select(['id', 'username', 'email'])->from('users')->where(['status' => 'active'])->execute();

3. Fetch the selected records one by one:

   while ($record = $queryBuilder->fetch()) {
       echo $record->id . ', ' . $record->username . ', ' . $record->email . "\n";
   }

Select records with Pagination

1. Include the bootstrap file and get the Pagination instance from the container:

   use Migliori\PowerLitePdo\Pagination;
   
   // Build the container and connect to the database
   $container = require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/migliori/power-lite-pdo/src/bootstrap.php';
   $pagination = $container->get(Pagination::class);

2. Select some records:

   $from = 'users'; // The table name
   $fields = ['id', 'username', 'email']; // The columns you want to select
   $where = ['status' => 'active']; // The conditions for the WHERE clause
   
   $pagination->select($from, $fields, $where);

3. Fetch the selected records one by one:

   while ($record = $pagination->fetch()) {
       echo $record->id . ', ' . $record->username . ', ' . $record->email . "\n";
   }

4. Display the pagination:

   $url = '/users'; // The URL for the pagination links
   echo $pagination->pagine($url);
