README
MySQL Query optimization with the EXPLAIN command is unnecessarily complicated: The output contains a lot of cryptic information that is incomprehensible or entirely misleading.
This PHP package collects many query metrics that will be sent to mysqlexplain.com and transformed to be much easier to understand.
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require tpetry/php-mysql-explain
Usage
1. Query Definition
The query you want to analyze must first be defined with all the parameters used and its database connection.
Included are implementations for PHP's mysqli and PDO drivers.
However, you can also build framework-specific ones by implementing the QueryInterface
.
Note
The minimum required PHP version is 7.4 but the examples use the named arguments syntax of PHP 8 for easier reading.
mysqli Driver
In its most simple form, you only provide the mysqli connection and the query to execute:
use Tpetry\PhpMysqlExplain\Queries\MysqliQuery; $mysqli = new mysqli('127.0.0.1', 'root', 'root', 'github'); $query = new MysqliQuery( connection: $mysqli, sql: 'SELECT * FROM issues', );
You can also provide variables that are bound to the prepared statement:
$query = new MysqliQuery( connection: $mysqli, sql: 'SELECT * FROM issues WHERE type = ? AND num > ?', params: ['finished', 85], );
Please be aware that by default all passed variables are interpreted as strings.
However, you can pass a string as last parameter following the characteristics of the $types
parameter from mysqli's bind_param function:
$query = new MysqliQuery( connection: $mysqli, sql: 'SELECT * FROM issues WHERE type = ? AND num > ?', params: ['finished', 85], types: 'si', );
PDO Driver
use Tpetry\PhpMysqlExplain\Queries\PdoQuery; $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=github', 'root', 'root'); $query = new PdoQuery( connection: $pdo, sql: 'SELECT * FROM issues', );
You can also provide variables that are bound to the prepared statement with positional or named parameters:
$query = new PdoQuery( connection: $pdo, sql: 'SELECT * FROM issues WHERE type = ? AND num > ?', params: ['finished', 85], ); $query = new PdoQuery( connection: $pdo, sql: 'SELECT * FROM issues WHERE type = :type AND num > :num', params: ['type' => 'finished', 'num' => 85], );
Please be aware that by default all passed variables are interpreted as strings. However, you can pass an array as last parameter with PDO::PARAM_* types:
$query = new PdoQuery( connection: $pdo, sql: 'SELECT * FROM issues WHERE type = ? AND num > ?', params: ['finished', 85], types: [PDO::PARAM_STR, PDO::PARAM_INT], ); $query = new PdoQuery( connection: $pdo, sql: 'SELECT * FROM issues WHERE type = :type AND num > :num', params: ['type' => 'finished', 'num' => 85], types: ['type' => PDO::PARAM_STR, 'num' => PDO::PARAM_INT], );
2. Metric Collection
Now, the query profiling information must be collected for the previously configured query:
use Tpetry\PhpMysqlExplain\Metrics\Collector; $metrics = (new Collector())->execute($query);
3. API Call
Finally, the $metrics
object containing all the information must be sent to the mysqlexplain.com API:
use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient; use Tpetry\PhpMysqlExplain\Api\Client; $client = new Client(new GuzzleClient()); $response = $client->submit($metrics); var_dump($response->getUrl());
Important
This package has no dependency on any specific HTTP client library to avoid conflicts with actively used versions within your project.
Therefore, you must pass an object of any http library implementing psr/http-client
.
In this example, the popular Guzzle HTTP library (composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
) was used - which you probably have already installed.
But you can also choose from many other implementations.
