CommonPHP - Database Library
============================

[](#commonphp---database-library)

CommonPHP's Database Library is a toolkit for database interaction and management in PHP applications. It offers a comprehensive set of features for connecting to databases, objectifying queries, executing them, and handling results efficiently.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Connection Management**: Simplifies the setup and management of database connections.
- **Query Builder**: Offers a fluent interface for constructing SQL queries including parameter management and dynamic query parts (SELECT \* FROM {0} WHERE id=@id)
- **Type Conversion**: Provides an extensible system for converting between PHP types and database types.
- **Exception Handling**: Includes detailed exceptions for precise error handling in database operations.

Components
----------

[](#components)

The library is structured into several key components, including the Connection Manager, Query Builder, and various type converters. It also defines interfaces and contracts for extendability, alongside a suite of exceptions for robust error management.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Requires PHP 8.3 or newer and is built to integrate seamlessly with other CommonPHP libraries.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Use Composer to install:

```
composer require comphp/dbengine
