qi-db
=====

[](#qi-db)

Qi Db provides PHP library classes for running SQL on databases.

Installation with Composer
--------------------------

[](#installation-with-composer)

Use composer to include the `Qi\Db` library in a project.

```
composer require sumpygump/qi-db

```

If you don't have composer already installed, this is my recommendation for installing it. See [getcomposer.org installation instructions](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#globally).

Once the files have been composed with the `composer install` command, you can use any of the `Qi\Db` classes after composer's autoloader is included.

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

$db = new Qi\Db\PdoMysql();
// ...
```

Manual Installation
-------------------

[](#manual-installation)

You can also download the files and place them in a library folder. If you do this, be sure to update your autoloader to handle the `Qi_Db_*` classes or else manually include the files of the classes you'll need.

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

This is some example code that illustrates connecting to a Mysql database:

```
$dbConfig = [
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'db'   => 'databasename',
    'user' => 'username',
    'pass' => 'mypassword',
];
$db = new Qi\Db\PdoMysql($dbConfig);

```

This is some example code that illustrates using the `insert()` and `fetchRow()`methods of the PdoMysql class.

```
// This will insert a new record into a `users` table
$newRow = [
    'email' => 'test@example.com',
    'first_name' => 'Joe',
    'last_name' => 'Schmoe',
];
$db->insert('users', $newRow);

// This will fetch a user by email address
$user = $db->fetchRow("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `email`=?", ['test@example.com']);

```

Please check the class source code for the full list of other methods that can be used.
