PhpHelpers
==========

[](#phphelpers)

A library of PHP scripts and classes that aid in the development of PHP projects

All scripts are written for PHP 7.4 | 8.\*

List of Helpers
---------------

[](#list-of-helpers)

- `UpdateSqlClasses.php`

    - These scripts are used to create php classes representing your database tables
    - Choose a script from `UpdateSqlClasses/` based on which sql implementation you're using

        - Supported Implementations

            - MySQL: `/UpdateSqlClasses/mysql/UpdateSqlClasses.php`
            - SQLite: `/UpdateSqlClasses/sqlite/UpdateSqlClasses.php`
    - See the top section of the script to configure the script's parameters
    - Tun from the root directory of project

        ```
        php UpdateSqlClasses.php
        ```
- `PdoWrapper.php`

    - I wrote this class because I hated copying and pasting the same PDO query & execution code and only needing to change the sql query
    - Initialize the object with your PDO instance, then use this class instead of your PDO
    - SqlExecution is the method you'll use the most (usage examples here)

        ```
        $PdoWrapperInstance->SqlExecution($sql, $vars, [PDO::FETCH_CLASS, User::class], "fetch");

        $PdoWrapperInstance->SqlExecution($sql, [], [PDO::FETCH_COLUMN, 0], "fetchAll");
        ```
    - Each `SqlExecution()` tries to begin a transaction if one hasn't already been opened. Because of this, you'll need to run `SaveChanges()` to commit that transaction when you insert into of update your tables

        ```
        $PdoWrapperInstance->SaveChanges();
        ```
- `Logger.php`

    - This class helps create a custom log file.
    - Use like

        ```
        $logger = new Logger("path/to/file.log");
        $logger->log("hello world!");
        $logger->log("hello world!", LogLevel::Warn);
        ```

        outputs

        ```
        [ 2021-09-25 07:18:52 ] [ INFO ] hello world!
        [ 2021-09-25 07:18:40 ] [ WARN ] hello world!

        ```
- `Util.php`

    - `DebugPrint()`

        - A wrapper around `print_r()` that will output data to the browser in a readable format
        - Optional string title and stringifies a given value of any type
        - Use like

        ```
        \PhpHelpers\Util::DebugPrint($dataToOutput, "A Label To Describe Data");
        ```
