DEMO: Quickly import CSV
Let's import a CSV of country codes in just about a minute, including the time to download and
install RedBeanPHP!
With RedBeanPHP you don't need to design your database schema upfront, you don't need
a database administrator, you don't need endless configuration files in yaml, xml or json,
you don't need hundreds of untrusted dependencies or a sluggish framework, just one file and go!
Code Example
This is how you do CRUD in RedBeanPHP:
require 'rb.php';
R::setup();
//for version 5.3 and higher
//optional but recommended
R::useFeatureSet( 'novice/latest' );
$post = R::dispense( 'post' );
$post->text = 'Hello World';
//create or update
$id = R::store( $post );
//retrieve
$post = R::load( 'post', $id );
//delete
R::trash( $post );
This automatically generates the database, tables and columns... on-the-fly. It infers relations based on naming conventions. RedBeanPHP also makes it very easy to work with trees in databases:
$pages = R::children( $site, $extraSQL );
RedBeanPHP uses recursive table expressions to deal with tree structures in your database to improve performance (to use this feature you need a database that supports RCTEs like MySQL 8.0.1+, MariaDB 10.2.2+ or PostgreSQL 9+). Learn more about RedBeanPHP trees.
In RedBeanPHP 5.3 and higher you can use R::useFeatureSet( 'novice/latest' ) to automatically select the latest features. If you are working on an older code base you can ommit this line. The latest keyword means that you want to use the latest features. The novice keyword means that some dangerous features like R::nuke() will be turned off. You can also specify a specific RedBeanPHP version like 5.3 (minimum).
Zero Config
No verbose XML files, no annoying annotations, no YAML or INI. Zero Config. Just start coding.
Fluid Schema
During development, RedBeanPHP will adapt the database schema to fit
your needs, giving you the NoSQL experience.
When deploying to production servers, you can freeze the schema and
benefit from performance gains and referential integrity.
RedBeanPHP offers the best of both worlds!
Powerful
RedBeanPHP features:
auto-discovery of models, fast trees,
deep copying and smart import.
Write less, do more!
