best way to do not redundant query? - php

Question

I created the Rest API that are based on the MVC model. So far everything is working well but I want to find a clever way for the future when I'm 20 or 30 models that will communicate with the database. In particular, in every model functions should I write a query like this:
if($stmt = $connection->prepare("SELECT first_name FROM table WHERE id = ?"))
{
$id = 86;
$stmt->bind_param("i", $id);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($res);
$stmt->fetch();
echo "My name is => " . $res;
$stmt->close();
}
which becomes annoying. How can I do something like CodeIgniter? I do not want to use external libraries or frameworks because I'm trying to learn how to build a base alone. Now I understand that this question probably does not fit fully into the community standards but I hope someone will understand that it is still a technical question.

Answer 1

To do so you can create a class that contains a class that can accept parameter to communicate with db as the way you want to do.
For example:
you can create a method like function getAll($table) which will return all rows of a the $table. Then you won't need to write same table fetching code again and again. You can just call getAll("users"); which will return all rows of your users table, or getAll('products);` which will return all rows of your 'product' table. I assume that the code inside those helper method won't be difficult for you.
Here is how you can make your given code less redundant.
function findFromTable($table, $id){
if($stmt = $connection->prepare("SELECT first_name FROM $table WHERE id = ?"))
{
$stmt->bind_param("i", $id);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($res);
$stmt->fetch();
echo "My name is => " . $res;
$stmt->close();
}
}
Hope that will get you out or redundancy.
