MysqliDb is a MySQLi wrapper and object mapper for PHP that provides prepared statement support.
The tool addresses the need for safe database interaction in PHP by wrapping MySQLi with prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. It abstracts common database operations—insert, update, select, delete, and replace queries—into a fluent API that handles parameter binding automatically. The wrapper supports advanced features including table joins, subqueries, transactions, pagination, and bulk data loading from CSV and XML files. It also includes an optional object mapping layer through dbObject for model-based database interaction.
Developers working with legacy PHP applications or those preferring a lightweight wrapper over a full ORM should consider this tool. It suits projects that need straightforward database abstraction without the overhead of larger frameworks. The tool supports multiple database connections and allows reuse of existing MySQLi objects, making it adaptable to different project structures. For teams evaluating alternatives, the README does not name competing libraries, so no comparison is available.
The project shows maintenance activity with fixes and updates applied to address issues. The codebase remains actively used and receives bug fixes when problems are reported. Development appears focused on stability and compatibility rather than rapid feature expansion.
