Last Updated: 30 June 2004
Always hate having to type mysql_query and other wasteful lines of code just to grab something out of a database? Well with this SimpleSQL class, you can do that on the fly! Methods include: get_content, insert, update, delete, num_rows and more! This class file is well documented and very easy to use, and it's great for any type of web application that uses MySQL databases!
SYNOPSIS:
This class is meant to shortcut common MySQL database access tasks.
DESCRIPTION:
Simple SQL provides functions to retrieve single fields or rows of a table, insert rows given arrays of column names and values, update single fields of a given table row, delete given table rows and many other common needs.
ADVANTAGES:
- This PHP class file will eliminate nearly all code from the built in std mysql PHP functions.
- Speed, it will dramatically decrease development and execution time.
- Extremely easy to use; one hardly has to understand the MySQL syntax.
- It automatically determines whether or not there is an open connection to the MySQL server. It will connect and reconnect automatically.
- The built in debugging functions make it easy to solve syntax error and logic error.
- Supports arrays for arguments and returns ASSOC arrays from the DB with indexes.
- Stores resource links and common variables such as the last table used.
See attached zip file for example code of how to use this class file.

SimpleSQL - The simple way to query
Author: Paul Williamson <webmaster@protonage.net>

Summery:
This class is meant to shortcut common MySQL database access tasks.
Author Comments:
This is my first complete class file and I'm quite pleased about
how it turned out. The script works perfectly on PHP > 4, hasn't
been tested on any versions < PHP 4. As for mysql I havn't tested
it on anything < API 3.
All programming and testing ran on a 600mhz iBook with PHP 4.3.2
and MySQL API 3.23.49. This class file is currently running two
large database applications on two different servers; so far it
is flawless. If any bugs are found or comments, please e-mail me.
I'm really bad at comming up with argument names for
paramaters, but it shouldn't be very hard to figure it
out. Also, please excuse my horriable spelling mistakes
throughout the code. Everything should be pretty self-
explanitory if your good at PHP/MySQL. And if your not then
your not alone, only like .001% of the world's population
knows what PHP is, so yeah... your pretty good if you are this far.
Maybe I'll get around to writing a well developed readme/example
document, but for now, I like being lazy... and eating cheese.
If you have any questions or comments then please feel
free to contact me via e-mail or website (info at top).
Other than that, have a great day and enjoy coding the easy way!

As businesses grow increasingly dependent upon Web applications to provide services to customers, employees and partners, these complex applications become more difficult to secure. Although traditional security solutions protect Internet infrastructure layers, they do not guard against HTTP and HTML attacks. Many organizations that conduct security testing still deploy applications that allow attackers to manipulate their logic and wreak havoc on their business. To mitigate this risk, development and delivery teams must address Web application security throughout the lifecycle, addressing the many layers detailed in this paper.
