Dabble
======

[](#dabble)

PHP5 database abstraction layer. Writing SQL by hand is fine craft, but often it's more convenient to juggle arrays, e.g. to dynamically add conditions. Using Dabble this is made easy, while still allowing you to write literal SQL where you need.

Dabble is an *extension* of PHP's native `PDO` class, so should work with any existing code seamlessly.
