Database Code Overview

// Connect to a Database
$db = new \FastSitePHP\Data\Database($dsn, $user, $password);

// Query for Multiple Records
// Returns an Array of Records (Associative Array for each Record).
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM pages';
$records = $db->query($sql);

// Query for one record. Returns an Associative Array or [null] if not found.
// Both [query()] and [queryOne()] support optional parameters when querying.
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM pages WHERE id = ?';
$params = [1];
$record = $db->queryOne($sql, $params);

// Use [execute()] for INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE and other Transactions.
// In addition to using [?] you can also used named parameters in the
// format of ":name". Named parameters can make the code easier to read.
$sql = 'INSERT INTO pages (title, content)';
$sql .= ' VALUES (:title, :content)';
$params = [
    'title'   => 'Database Demo',
    'content' => '<h1>Database Demo<h1>',
];
$rows_affected = $db->execute($sql, $params);

// Many additional examples can be found on the quick reference page.
