PHP DCOM
========

[](#php-dcom)

The PHP DCOM (Database Connection Object Manager) is designed to allow easy management of multiple database connection objects. It stores database connection details within a `.env`file in the root of your project.

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

[](#installation)

Simple run `composer require jord-jd/php-dcom` to install.

You will need to set environment variables to use this library. If you are not using a framework that allows you to set these easily, you can install the `dotenv-loader`package which will immediately allow do so via a `.env` file.

To install `dotenv-loader`, just run: `composer require jord-jd/dotenv-loader`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

These usage instructions assume you are able to set environment variables via a `.env`file. If needed, create a `.env` file in the root of your project (alongside your `composer.json` file). This will be used to store you database connection details, in the following format.

```
DCOM_MAIN_OBJECT_TYPE=mysqli
DCOM_MAIN_DATABASE_TYPE=mysql

DCOM_MAIN_DATABASE_HOST=localhost
DCOM_MAIN_DATABASE_USERNAME=username
DCOM_MAIN_DATABASE_PASSWORD=password
DCOM_MAIN_DATABASE_NAME=testdb

```

DCOM supports the creation of both `mysqli` and `pdo` objects.

After setting up your `.env` file, you can then establish a connection to the database, as shown below. DCOM will ensure your application only uses a single connection to each database per request.

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use \JordJD\DCOM\DCOM;

$mysqli = DCOM::getConnection("main");
```

Note that the connection name passed to the `getConnection` method matches what is defined in the `.env` file. You can therefore change this argument in order to manage and connect to multiple databases easily.

Example
-------

[](#example)

For an actual example of how to use PHP DCOM, see the [`test` directory](test/).
