README

The continuation of the Laminas Db component, now under the php-db organization.

The following information is outdated and will be updated in the coming days.

👁 Build Status

PhpDb is a component that abstract the access to a Database using an object oriented API to build the queries. PhpDb consumes different storage adapters to access different database vendors such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft Sql Server, PDO, etc.

Contributing

Please be sure to read the contributor's guide for general information on contributing. This section outlines specifics for php-db.

Test suites

The phpunit.xml.dist file defines two test suites, "unit test" and "integration test". You can run one or the other using the --testsuite option to phpunit:

./vendor/bin/phpunit --testsuite "unit test" # unit tests only
./vendor/bin/phpunit --testsuite "integration test" # integration tests only

Unit tests do not require additional functionality beyond having the appropriate database extensions present and loaded in your PHP binary.

Integration tests

To run the integration tests, you need databases. So, the repository includes a Docker Compose configuration which allows you to start a test environment that provides several of our target databases, including MySQL and PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

To start up the configuration, run the following command:

docker compose up -d

To test that the environment is up and running, run the following command:

docker compose ps

You should see output similar to the following:

docker compose ps
NAME IMAGE COMMAND SERVICE CREATED STATUS PORTS
laminas-db-mysql-1 docker.io/library/laminas-db-mysql:latest "mysqld" mysql 7 hours ago Up 7 hours
laminas-db-php-1 docker.io/library/laminas-db-php:latest "apache2-foreground" php 7 hours ago Up 7 hours
laminas-db-postgresql-1 docker.io/library/laminas-db-postgresql:latest "postgres" postgresql 7 hours ago Up 7 hours

If you see three containers listed, then they're all running, and you are ready to run the test suite. So, copy phpunit.xml.dist to phpunit.xml, and change the following environment variable to "true" to enable the three databases:

  • TESTS_PHPDB_ADAPTER_DRIVER_MYSQL
  • TESTS_PHPDB_ADAPTER_DRIVER_PGSQL
  • TESTS_PHPDB_ADAPTER_DRIVER_SQLITE_MEMORY

From there, you can run the integration tests by running the following command:

docker compose exec php composer test-integration
