FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package database
Ice Cream Database
[
]()
[
]()
A DBAL at the most simplest of terms. Its a thin wrapper around PDO, while returning a connected PDO object.
We can connect to multiple database instances of either PGSQL or MYSQL (see below) and create open connections to each.
- Requires PHP 7.2.x
- Is Standalone
Install
composer require ice-cream/database
Purpose?
I wanted to understand PDO, and I still have a lot to learn about it. I could have used and created a thin wrapper around Doctrines DBAL, much like I did with Ice Cream Router in the sense that I did a thin wrapper around Symfony's router.
But I thought I could build something super simple, super easy to get started with and something that allowed me to understand exactly how PHP connects to a database.
While this isn't as fully flushed out as a regular DBAL, it is a good step in the process. You open a connection, get a db object back, do your work and you move on with your life.
There is room for growth here and room for improvement and your feedback and help will help to shape Ice Cream components into a framework.

Configuration
Create a new connection instance:
This will throw a PDO exception if we cannot connect to the database. This constructor will also connect to all databases registered in the connection array.
ATTN!!
At this time the options you see specified in the array are the only ones we accept. I wanted to get this component out the door in a couple of days and decided to keep it as simple as possible for the first iteration.
So now that we are connected what can we do?
ATTN!!
Notice in the configuration how we have the key as
mysqlorpgsqlas well assqlite?This is important because these correlate to the supported drivers that create the connection strings to connect to the database in question.
These names are also whats stored in the associated connections manager that manages all connections.
