dbConnection

dbConnection

Initializes the MySQL connection. Manual execution is only required if the database name was omitted during instantiation; otherwise, the connection is established automatically via the constructor.

Usage

dbConnection(?string $dbname, ?string $dbuser, ?string $dbpass, ?string $dbhost): static

Parameters

dbname (?string) : The name of the database to establish a connection with.

dbuser (?string) : The database username. ^(optional)^

dbpass (?string) : The database password. ^(optional)^

dbhost (?string) : The database host name. ^(optional)^

dbuser, dbpass and dbhost are optional because there are default values already set within the configuration that you can use.

Return Value

(static) : Returns the current instance to allow for method chaining.

Examples

$db->dbConnection('mydb', 'username', 'password', 'localhost');

Config Options

Config Key	Default Value	Allowed Values	Description
db.host	localhost	string	Database host name
db.name	null	string	Database name
db.user	root	string	Database username
db.pass	root	string	Database password

Debug Errors
