search function example code

` /**

• Search records with optional date range and additional parameters

• @param string $table table name

• @param array|null $date_range date range array with [start_date, end_date] keys (optional)

• @param array $params additional parameters

• @return array returns an array of records */ public function search($table, $date_range = null, $params = []) { $sql = "SELECT * FROM $table"; $queryParams = []; $dateConditionAdded = false;

  if ($date_range !== null && is_array($date_range) && count($date_range) >= 2) { $start_date = $date_range[0]; $end_date = $date_range[1];

   if ($start_date !== null && $end_date !== null) {
       $sql .= " WHERE date >= :start_date AND date <= :end_date";
       $queryParams[':start_date'] = $start_date;
       $queryParams[':end_date'] = $end_date;
       $dateConditionAdded = true;
   }
  

  }

  foreach ($params as $key => $value) { if ($value !== null) { if (!$dateConditionAdded) { if (empty($queryParams)) { $sql .= " WHERE $key = :$key"; } else { $sql .= " AND $key = :$key"; } } else { $sql .= " AND $key = :$key"; } $queryParams[":$key"] = $value; } }

  $stmt = $this->db->prepare($sql); $stmt->execute($queryParams); return $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); } `

Errors may exist, but it serves my purpose. I would like to suggest adding the search function to the class. Thank you

SUGGESTION

Instead of calling it search, make it a select and the args would be (string $table, array $where = []) and improve on the where such that you can use operators as well. And so you would have a more generic method.

example:

$db->select('users', [

    // simple = operator
    ['created_at' => date('Y-m-d')],

    // custom operator with nested assoc array
    ['created_at' => ['>=' => date('Y-m-d')]],

    // or it can like this
    ['created_at', '>=', date('Y-m-d')],
]);
