### Usage

[](#usage)

Examples selecting, inserting, updating and deleting data from or into the `users` table.

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

$dsn = 'mysql:host=your_db_host;dbname=your_db_name;charset=utf8';
$usr = 'your_db_username';
$pwd = 'your_db_password';

$pdo = new \Pb\PDO\Database($dsn, $usr, $pwd);

// SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?
$stmt = $pdo
    ->select()
    ->from('users')
    ->where('id', '=', 1234)
    ->execute();

$data = $stmt->fetch();

// INSERT INTO users (id , usr , pwd) VALUES (? , ? , ?)
$stmt = $pdo
    ->insert(['id', 'usr', 'pwd'])
    ->into('users')
    ->values([1234, 'your_username', 'your_password']);

$insertId = $stmt->execute(true); // true returns insert ID

// UPDATE users SET pwd = ? WHERE id = ?
$stmt = $pdo
    ->update(['pwd' => 'your_new_password'])
    ->table('users')
    ->where('id', '=', 1234);

$affectedRows = $stmt->execute();

// DELETE FROM users WHERE id = ?
$stmt = $pdo
    ->delete()
    ->from('users')
    ->where('id', '=', 1234);

$affectedRows = $stmt->execute();
```

### Notes on the `sqlsrv` extension

[](#notes-on-the-sqlsrv-extension)

The `sqlsrv` extension will fail to connect when using error mode `PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION` (default). To connect, you will need to explicitly pass `array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING)` (or `PDO::ERRMODE_SILENT`) into the constructor, or override the `getDefaultOptions()` method when using `sqlsrv`.
