QuickDB – The MySQL Wrapper

quickdbWhen working on different projects, you have to use time-consuming mysql commands every now and then. Same was the case with me and i had really got sick of all those commands, so i decided to create my own mysql wrapper with ability to perform the similar tasks far more quickly and easily than their mysql counterparts. I have used it in many projects i have developed and it has saved me about 50% of the time as compared to using mysql default functions.

You can download the file whole class with example here.

So here is the code for the sample file, name it quickdb_example.php

	// Online Class Location:
	// http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/5318.html

	/*

	In order to use the example here, you need to create a table,
	just execute the following SQL lines using your MySQL client:
	-------------------------------------------------------------

	################################
	CREATE TABLE `quickdbtest` (
	  `catid` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
	  `catname` varchar(255) default NULL,
	  PRIMARY KEY  (`catid`)
	);
	insert  into `quickdbtest`(`catid`,`catname`) values (1,'Big'),(2,'Small'),(3,'Average'),(4,'Light'),(5,'Huge');
	################################

	*/

	// This file uses most of the functions of QuickDB MySQL wrapper.
	// It is very easy to use these funtions (methods), see below examples.
	// Once you know how to use this, i bet you are gonna use it in future as well 🙂

	require_once "quickdb.class.php";
	// Argumentd are: host, user, password, database, persistent connection, show errors on screen
	$db = new QuickDB("localhost", "root", "", "test", false, true);

	## execute Method/Function
	// it can run any query whether select, insert, update or delete like mysql_query function

	// returns:
	// 1) resource identifier for "Select query" that can later be used with mysql_fetch_array or mysql_fetch_object
	// 2) number of rows affected for "insert, update or delete" queries

																											// Usage Of:
																											// --------------------------

	$result = $db->execute("select * from quickdbtest order by catname");									// $db->execute

	// 		$result = $db->select("quickdbtest");															// $db->select

	while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
