FileMaker-Data-API-PHP-Wrapper

This PHP class wraps the RestFM.php class by https://www.sosimplesoftware.com

This was developed to by used in a CodeIgniter 3 project, to replace the default mySQL database calls as closely as possible, making the queries as database agnostic as possible.

The query builder syntax supports method chaining or simple queries. it also supports local file based caching.

Examples

See the example.php file for more examples or some simple usage examples below.

Basic setup queries

	$db = new Fmapi();
	$db->user('fm_data_api_username')
		->pass('secure_password')
		->host('fm_server_dns_or_ip_address')
		->db('my_layout_name');

	$users = $db->get('users')
		->result();
		// array of objects or FALSE


	$user = $db
		->where('username', 'sheldon')
		->get('users')
		->row();
		// single object or FALSE

Query caching

You should set the caching type in the construct method. If no valid type is set, no caching will be performed.

 /**
  * Supported caching methods:
  * - 'file'
  * - 'mongodb'
  */
public $cache_type = FALSE; 

/**
 * For file based caching, 
 * eg: '../storage/';
*/
public $cache_path = FALSE; 

/**
 * MongoDB Database connection string
 * only required for Mongo connections.
*/
protected $cache_mongodb_dsn = '';

	$db = new Fmapi();
	$db->user('fm_data_api_username')
		->pass('secure_password')
		->host('fm_server_dns_or_ip_address')
		->db('my_layout_name')
		->cache_path('./cache_dir/');

	// get and cache a list of users for 4 hours
	$users = $db->get('users')
		->cache(4)
		->result();
		// array of objects or FALSE


	// get a fresh copy of this user, and cache for 24 hours
	$user = $db
		->bust(TRUE)
		->cache(24)
		->where('username', 'sheldon')
		->get('users')
		->row();
		// single object or FALSE

Inserting data

	$db->insert('users', [
		'username' => 'rob',
		'first_name' => 'Robert',
		'last_name' => 'Jones',
		'email' => 'rob@robertjones.nz',
		'password' => sha1('$ecurePassW0rd'),
	]);

Updating data

	$user = $db
		->bust(TRUE)
		->where('username', 'sheldon')
		->get('users')
		->row();

	$db->update('users', [
		'password' => sha1('New$ecurePassW0rd'),
	], $user->id); // ->id is ALWAYS the FM Record ID.
