ultimatemysql
=============

[](#ultimatemysql)

MySQL database access wrapper compatible with PHP 8

Based on the excellent work of Jeff Williams

### Why this repository

[](#why-this-repository)

Despite it is being used by fortune 500 companies \[[source](https://www.phpclasses.org/discuss/package/3698/thread/72/)\], the script isn't update since 16/08/2013 (almost 10 years!), so i thinked to create this repository with the aim of making it compatible with PHP 8, and being able to use it for another 10 years (i hope!).

How to get started
------------------

[](#how-to-get-started)

It's a very simple database access wrapper, well documented and safe against SQL injection hacks!

You can start with only 3 lines!

### PHP Library

[](#php-library)

```

```

### Composer package

[](#composer-package)

...OR if you want to include it as a composer package, just type:

```
composer require ricci69/ultimatemysql
```

and after use the following PHP code

```

```

### Debug mode

[](#debug-mode)

The script looks for a file called `.debugmysql` (within the root directory or within the composer's vendor / module folder) and, if found, enters debug mode.

When debug mode is active, it writes all SQL queries executed inside the `.debugmysql` file.

How it work and examples
------------------------

[](#how-it-work-and-examples)

Check the "examples" directory to learn how it works, or read the very good documentation on
