[](#mythdb)

By Shu Saura

[MythDB](https://github.com/shusaura85/mythdb) is a simple database abstraction layer for PHP providing a consistent interface for multiple database drivers.

- SQLite3

Installation

    ```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php'; // or '/path/to/src/autoload.php'

$db_driver = 'mysqli'; // available drivers: mysqli, pgsql, sqlite3
$db_persistent = false; // set to true to use a persistent connection
$db_utf8names = 'UTF8'; // if set, automatically calls query "SET NAMES ". not supported in sqlite
$db = new \MythDB\Database($db_driver, 'host', 'username', 'password', 'database', $db_persistent, $db_utf8names);
```
