Today i tried to convert my functions to PHP Class. I tried with some basic steps.
<?php
class DataBase {
private $host;
private $user;
private $password;
private $db;
private $mysqli;
function __construct() {
$this->host = "localhost";
$this->user = "root";
$this->password = "";
$this->db = "my_database";
$this->mysqli = new mysqli($this->host, $this->user, $this->password, $this->db);
}
function __destruct() {
$this->mysqli->close();
}
public function query($query, $params = '', $bind_result) {
$stmt = $this->mysqli->prepare($query);
//Need to change this to process the array of params
$stmt->bind_param('i', $params);
$stmt->execute();
//Change this to handle array of bind
$stmt->bind_result($bind_result);
//Loop the result and store it in a temp array
$stmt->fetch();
//Don't print the statement. Just close the statement and return the array.
printf("%s\n", $bind_result);
/* close statement */
$stmt->close();
}
}
?>
I have to now create another class. I created one dummy table in database.
<?php
class Dummy {
private $database;
function __construct() {
$this->database = new Database();
}
public function getAllDummy() {
$query = "SELECT name FROM dummy WHERE id = ?";
$this->database->query($query, 1, 'name');
}
}
?>
But I don't think it is the right way to do the things. I feel some of them are in the right way and some of them are wrong.
When i call the query() function, Do i need to connect the database all the time in every classes' construct method? Or Do i need to change the Database class to static functions? So i can call the functions like Database::query();
It seems i need to create everything from the start. Is such a model already available in internet? like cakephp, codeigniter
__construct(Database $db)in other class; To make a query with more than one parameter, check out this comment. Some people here would recommend to use PDO to have a more "slick" interface.
