FraeCMS Database
================

[](#fraecms-database)

This package provides a simplified model for PHP MySQLi (and potentially more in the future). Intended for FraeCMS for added simplicity and security.

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

[](#installation)

### Composer

[](#composer)

`composer require fraeio/database`

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

For MySQLi functions to be available, you must enable MySQLi extension to work with your PHP instances.

> For installation instructions for MySQLi, go to: [PHP.net MySQLi Installation](http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.installation.php "http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.installation.php")

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

By default, FraeCMS Database will use environment variables to attempt to connect to a database server. In your .ENV file you can specify these variables:

```
DB_HOST = localhost # Specify hostname or TCP/IP of MySQL server to connect to.
DB_USER = admin # The MySQL user name.
DB_PASS = password # The MySQL password. [optionaly] provide null.
DB_NAME = FraeCMS # Specify the default database to be used when performing queries.
DB_PORT = 3306 # [optional] Specify MySQL port.
DB_CHARSET = utf8 # [optional] Set the desired charset for the database connection.
DB_PREFIX = frae_ # [optional] Prefix for database table names.`

```

-------------------

[](#create-a-connection)

### Example #1 Connect using environment variables

[](#example-1-connect-using-environment-variables)

```
/* Load Environment Variables. */
    Dotenv::createImmutable(CONFIG_PATH, '.env')->load();

/* Connect to Database using environment variables */
    $database = new Database();

```

### Example #2 Connect using ini or other variables

[](#example-2-connect-using-ini-or-other-variables)

```
/* Connect to Database using ini variables */
    $database = new Database(
      ini_get('mysqli.default_host'),
      ini_get('mysqli.default_user'),
      ini_get('mysqli.default_pw'),
      'my_database',
      ini_get('mysqli.default_port'),
      'utf8',
      'optional_table_prefix_',
    );

```

### Example #3 Connect using an array

[](#example-3-connect-using-an-array)

```
/* Connect to Database using array variables */
    $database = new Database([
      'host': 'localhost',
      'username': 'my_user',
      'password': 'my_password',
      'dbname': 'my_database',
      'port': 3306,
      'charset': 'utf8',
      'prefix': NULL,
    ]);
