I am building application which needs to have OOP style MySQL query builder. I want to be able to flexibly build complex queries using only PHP and to get resulting query string for execution with my own database driver.
Does anyone know of a good standalone query builder for PHP? Please note that I don't need database driver I need bare MySQL query builder class (preferably written with camel style function and variable names).
Finally I took Doctrine ORM
and modified it little bit to build SQL instead of DQL.
This works very nice and it able to construct complex queries.
Edit: You can find my final stable implementation in Stingle framework. Look at Db/QueryBuilder plugin.
DSQL - Query Builder for PHP is exactly what you're looking for, no dependencies and has MIT license:
$query = new atk4\dsql\Query();
$query ->table('employees')
->where('birth_date','1961-05-02')
->field('count(*)')
;
echo "Employees born on May 2, 1961: ".$query->getOne();
Documentation: http://dsql.readthedocs.io/
The PhpToolCase library has a stand-alone query builder tool that is quite easy and handy to use.
There is full join support aswell: http://phptoolcase.com/guides/ptc-qb-guide.html
And ya, it seems to be written with camel style function and variable names :)
There is one version of query builder there (LGPL licenced). I haven't used it, but you might want to take a look at it, if it suits your purposes: http://code.google.com/p/mysql-query-builder/
