# Basic CRUD operations with PDO

CRUD = Create, Read, Update, Delete

## Open a database connection

```php
$host = '127.0.0.1';
$dbname = 'test';
$username = 'root';
$password = '';
$charset = 'utf8';
$collate = 'utf8_unicode_ci';
$dsn = "mysql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname;charset=$charset";
$options = [
    PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
    PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => false,
    PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE => PDO::FETCH_ASSOC,
    PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES $charset COLLATE $collate"
];

$pdo = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password, $options);
```

## Select a single row

```php
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = :email AND status=:status LIMIT 1');
$stmt->execute(['email' => $email, 'status' => $status]);
$user = $stmt->fetch();
```

## Select multiple rows

With fetch for large results.

```php
$stmt = $pdo->query('SELECT name FROM users');
while ($row = $stmt->fetch()) {
    echo $row['name'] . "\n";
}

// or even simpler
foreach ($stmt as $row) {
   echo $row['name'] . "\n";
}
```

With fetchAll for small results.

```php
$news = $pdo->query('SELECT * FROM news')->fetchAll();
```

## Insert a single row

```php
$row = [
    'username' => 'bob',
    'email' => 'bob@example.com'
];
$sql = "INSERT INTO users SET username=:username, email=:email;";
$status = $pdo->prepare($sql)->execute($row);

if ($status) {
    $lastId = $pdo->lastInsertId();
    echo $lastId;
}
```

## Insert multiple rows

```php
$rows = [];
$rows[] = [
    'username' => 'bob',
    'email' => 'bob@example.com'
];
$rows[] = [
    'username' => 'max',
    'email' => 'max@example.com'
];

$sql = "INSERT INTO users SET username=:username, email=:email;";
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
foreach ($rows as $row) {
    $stmt->execute($row);
}
```

## Update a single row

```php
$row = [
    'id' => 1,
    'username' => 'bob',
    'email' => 'bob2@example.com'
];
$sql = "UPDATE users SET username=:username, email=:email WHERE id=:id;";
$status = $pdo->prepare($sql)->execute($row);
```

## Update multiple rows

```php
$row = [
    'updated_at' => '2017-01-01 00:00:00'
];
$sql = "UPDATE users SET updated_at=:updated_at";
$pdo->prepare($sql)->execute($row);

$affected = $pdo->rowCount();
```

## Delete a single row

```php
$where = ['id' => 1];
$pdo->prepare("DELETE FROM users WHERE id=:id")->execute($where);
```

## Delete multiple rows

```php
$pdo->prepare("DELETE FROM users")->execute();
```

## PDO datatypes

Getting dynamic (POST) data with null values can be difficult to handle with PDO.
Here is a helper function to detect the correct data type.

```php
function get_pdo_type($value)
{
    switch (true) {
        case is_bool($value):
            $dataType = PDO::PARAM_BOOL;
            break;
        case is_int($value):
            $dataType = PDO::PARAM_INT;
            break;
        case is_null($value):
            $dataType = PDO::PARAM_NULL;
            break;
        default:
            $dataType = PDO::PARAM_STR;
    }
    return $dataType;
}

// Usage
$email = $_POST['email'];

$pdo = new PDO('dsn', 'username', 'password');
$sql = 'INSERT INTO users SET email=:email;';
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindValue(':email', $email, get_pdo_type($email));
$stmt->execute();
```
