Medoo php sql - change search term - php

Question

i am using the "medoo"-php/mysql-class (http://www.medoo.in) for my latest project. I like the quiet easy way to work with my SQL-stuff.
But i wondered if it is possible to change the search term according to an option from an input-select-form. Lets say we got search-option "user by name", we would go with:
$data = $database->select("account", [
"user_name",
"user_id",
"phone",
"email",
"age"], [
"user_name" => $_POST['user_name']]);
Fine so far. Now we get the search option "user by ID". Every thing else stays just the same. So i need only the
["user_name" => $_POST['user_name']]);
to be like
["user_id" => $_POST['user_id']]);
Is there a way to change that without writing the whole statement again?
It is just a example. Moreover for my project i will need to change other options of the query like update to insert oder different join-options. But for the moment i am fine with an answer to that.
Anyway, what do you think about the Medoo-Class. Got any cool alternative Class-solutions for me? Basically i know how to work with SQL querys but getting stuff to the array at the end is always driving me crazy. So i would love to get stuff faster and easier with a class.
Thx a lot for your help!
Best, Lox

You can just change the $where array before running the query like that:
if ($type == 'id')
{
$where = ["user_id" => $_POST['user_id']];
}
if ($type == 'user_name')
{
$where = ["user_name" => $_POST['user_name']];
}
$data = $database->select("account",
[
"user_name",
"user_id",
"phone",
"email",
"age"
],
$where
);
