Download the PHP package exigen/dbsupport without Composer

DbSupport

The purpose of this package is to provide a quick, easy mechanism to access a mySQL database which is robust enough to use in larger projects.

There are two primary classes, a DB record class which is used to represent a database table record.
And a SQL Query builder class which is used to help retrieve lists of DB record items.

DB Record A class to represent a Db Table record. The table is defined within the constructor class.

 class ExampleClass extends exigen\DbSupport\DbRecord
 {
     public function __construct()
     {
          $fieldList = array(
               'customer_name' => array('type'=>DbAccess::DB_TYPE_NUMERIC, 'db_type'=>'int'),
               'invoice_id' => array('type'=>DbAccess::DB_TYPE_STRING, 'db_type'=>'VARCHAR(128)'),
               ...
           );

     parent::__construct("the_table_name", 'the_table_id', $fieldList);
     }
}

The following Static method are then available:

• ExampleClass::lookUpInDatabase($id); // Gives instance of Example class matching Id value or null if not found in DB.
• ExampleClass::createFromDatabase($id); // Gives instance of Example class matching Id value or new instance if not found in DB.

The following methods are available on any instance of a Db Record:

• $instance->save(); // Save the record to the database.
• $instance->delete(); // Delete the record from the database.
• $instance->dbUpdate(); // Update/create table in database.
• $instance->id()

And for the example above, the following methods would automatically be available depending access option selected:

• $instance->getId()
• $instance->getCustomerName();
• $instance->setCustomerName($name);
• $instance->getInvoiceId();
• $instance->setInvoiceId($id); OR
• $instance->customerName();
• $instance->customerName($name);
• $instance->invoiceId();
• $instance->invoiceId($id);

Usage Two steps:

1. Configure Database connection details, required once.
2. Create class derived from DbRecord with table definition within the constructor.
