RedBeanPHP 5
============

[](#redbeanphp-5)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/8e6c195f716825d13f80ce202d3ce7a73f9c2d3daac3697a165e100349167b38/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6761626f7264656d6f6f696a2f7265646265616e2e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/gabordemooij/redbean)

RedBeanPHP is an easy to use ORM tool for PHP.

- Automatically creates tables and columns as you go
- No configuration, just fire and forget
- No complicated package tools, no autoloaders, just ONE file

Installation (recommended)
--------------------------

[](#installation-recommended)

Download RedBeanPHP from the website:

Extract the archive and put it in your PHP project, voila!

Optional: sha256sum and check signature.

Installation via Composer (not recommended)
-------------------------------------------

[](#installation-via-composer-not-recommended)

Just open your composer.json file and add the package name `(e.g. "gabordemooij/redbean": "dev-master")` in your require list.

```
{
    "require": {
        "gabordemooij/redbean": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

**NOTE**: You will find many examples on the RedBean website make use of RedBean's `R` class. Because of namespaced autoloading in Composer, this class will be available as `\RedbeanPHP\R` instead of `R`. If you desire to use the much shorter `R` alias, you can add a `use` statement at the beginning of your code:

```
use \RedBeanPHP\R as R;
```

**NOTE:**It is important to note that when using RedBeanPHP with Composer, there are some extra precautions needed when working with [Models](https://redbeanphp.com/index.php?p=/models). Due to the namespace requirements of Composer, when creating Models we need to use the `SimpleModel` to extend, not `RedBean_SimpleModel`. Furthermore, we need to specify the namespace of the `SimpleModel`, so a full example of using a Model with RedBean with Composer is as follows:

```
use \RedBeanPHP\R;

class Model_User extends \RedBeanPHP\SimpleModel
{
    ...
}
```

Notice that we also need to add the `use \RedBeanPHP\R` statement so that we can use the `R::` shortcut within the Model.

Quick Example
-------------

[](#quick-example)

How we store a book object with RedBeanPHP:

```
$book = R::dispense("book");
$book->author = "Santa Claus";
$book->title = "Secrets of Christmas";
$id = R::store( $book );
```

Yep, it's that simple.
