Another blog post, let me know what you think.

Supposed to just be scratching the surface, nothing spectacular!

I like it.

but I think you could make it a little bit easier to use.

PHP Code:
$sql 'SELECT *
        FROM messages m
        WHERE m.message_id = :message_id
        AND m.temperature = :temperature'
;
 
$params = array(
        
':message_id' => '48',
        
':temperature' => '23'
    
);
 
$db->query($sql$params); 
you could update your code so that it would allow sql like this


PHP Code:
$sql 'SELECT *
        FROM messages m
        WHERE m.message_id = 48
        AND m.temperature = 23'
;

$db->query($sql); 
wouldn't be that difficult and make more sense when using the class.

Yes you could, I suppose that wasn't a very good example - the binding parameters prevents SQL injection, as the SQL and parameters are sent to the database server separately.

You would usually be inputting submitted information by the user, so you would normally have to sanitize it, but with prepared statements you don't have to.

You would more likely use something like this for your parameters, where the variables are local copies from a global $_POST array.

PHP Code:
$params = array(
        
':message_id' => $user_input_string,
        
':temperature' => $user_input_string_two
    
);

I understand that and it is good. What I meant (sorry for not being clear in the first part) was that you could add some code in your query function that would then create the params from the sql string that has been submitted. So you would still have all the advantages of sanitizing ect.

Hope you understand what I meant now.

With parameters you don't need to sanitize. If you sanitize input then add it as a parameter it things like quotes will come though escaped.
