A PHP MySQL database client class to simplify database access.
This lightweight database class is written with PHP and uses the MySQLi extension, it uses prepared statements to properly secure your queries, no need to worry about SQL injection attacks.
The MySQLi extension has built-in prepared statements that you can work with, this will prevent SQL injection and prevent your database from being exposed, some developers are confused on how to use these methods correctly so I've created this easy to use database class that'll do the work for you.
This database class is beginner-friendly and easy to implement, with the native MySQLi methods you need to write 3-7 lines of code to retrieve data from a database, with this class you can do it with just 1-2 lines of code, and is much easier to understand.
Download the file db.php
. It contains the client class named db
.
include 'db.php';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'root';
$dbpass = '';
$dbname = 'example';
$db = new db($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname); // or update the default values of the parameters in db.php
$account = $db->query('SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE username = ? AND password = ?', 'test', 'test')->fetchArray();
echo $account['name'];
Or you could do:
$account = $db->query('SELECT * FROM accounts WHERE username = ? AND password = ?', array('test', 'test'))->fetchArray();
echo $account['name'];
$accounts = $db->query('SELECT * FROM accounts')->fetchAll();
foreach ($accounts as $account) {
echo $account['name'] . '<br>';
}
You can specify a callback if you do not want the results being stored in an array (useful for large amounts of data):
$db->query('SELECT * FROM accounts')->fetchAll(function($account) {
echo $account['name'];
});
If you need to break the loop you can add:
return 'break';
$accounts = $db->query('SELECT * FROM accounts');
echo $accounts->numRows();
$insert = $db->query('INSERT INTO accounts (username,password,email,name) VALUES (?,?,?,?)', 'test', 'test', '[email protected]', 'Test');
echo $insert->affectedRows();
echo $db->query_count;
echo $db->lastInsertID();
$db->close();

I brought it here to Github in order to improve it with the help of anybody that is interested in this piece of code. If you find bugs or want to improve the code, please create an issue or pull request. Thanks.
