Here is a PDO helper class to get you started . . .
define('DB_MAIN', 'localhost|user1|pa55word|db1');
// Connect to database db1
$db = new my_db(DB_MAIN);
// Request "SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE a=16 AND b=22"
// Get an array of stdClass's
$rows = $db->fetchAll('SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE a=? AND b=?', 16, 22);
class my_db{
private static $databases;
private $connection;
public function __construct($connDetails){
if(!is_object(self::$databases[$connDetails])){
list($host, $user, $pass, $dbname) = explode('|', $connDetails);
$dsn = "mysql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname";
self::$databases[$connDetails] = new PDO($dsn, $user, $pass);
}
$this->connection = self::$databases[$connDetails];
}
public function fetchAll($sql){
$args = func_get_args();
array_shift($args);
$statement = $this->connection->prepare($sql);
$statement->execute($args);
return $statement->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
}
}
