Chaining & Examples

It is possible, and recommended, that you chain the methods together.

Query

Delete all records from the table foo, and store how many records were deleted in $num_deleted.

Chained (recommnded)

$num_deleted = $Mysqli_Database
		->query("DELETE FROM `foo`;")
		->affected_rows();

Unchained

$Mysqli_Database->query("DELETE FROM `foo`;");
$num_deleted = $Mysqli_Database->->affected_rows();

Executes

mysql > DELETE FROM `foo`;

Prepare Query

Retrieve records from the table foo and store them as an array in $results.

Chained (recommnded)

$results = $Mysqli_Database
		->prepare("SELECT `foo` FROM `bar` WHERE `foo` = ? OR `foo` = ?;")
		->execute("Timmy O'Toole", 2)
		->results('array');	

Unchained

$Mysqli_Database->prepare("SELECT `foo` FROM `bar` WHERE `foo` = ? OR `foo` = ?;");
$Mysqli_Database->execute("Timmy O'Toole", 2);
$results = $Mysqli_Database->results('array');

Executes

mysql > SELECT `foo` FROM `bar` WHERE `foo` = 'Timmy O\'Toole' OR `foo` = 2;
