🧰 What is it?

MicrofyClass.php is the object-oriented version of microfy.php — a minimalist utility class packed with static helper methods to simplify everyday PHP development.

It brings the same no-bloat, no-dependency philosophy — now in a class-based format — offering tools for request handling, debugging, logging, HTML snippets, database access, and more.

Forget frameworks when all you need is power and speed — Microfy is your coding pocketknife.

💡 Why use it?

• You're tired of repetitive boilerplate like isset($_GET['x']) ? $_GET['x'] : ''
• You want clean, expressive, and testable PHP code
• You work in an OOP environment but don’t want bulky libraries
• You need practical helpers like Microfy::getVar(), Microfy::pp(), Microfy::dbAll() right away
• You value full control with zero magic
• Download microfyPHP Github

✨ Features

• Request Access: getVar(), postVar(), requestVar() and prefixed variants
• Debug Tools: pp(), pd(), mpp(), mlog(), with optional returns (pdd(), pdr())
• Database: PDO helpers like dbPdo(), dbAll(), dbExists(), etc.
• HTML Snippets: h(), br(), codePhp(), mark(), a(), b(), ul(), li() and more
• Array Utils: getArray() (formerly getR()) for safe key lookups
• Slugify: Easily generate SEO-safe slugs
• JSON Reader: jsonf() for simple flat-file configs
• List Helpers: cList(), cStr() for smart numbered headings and counters

📌 When to Use MicrofyClass.php

Use MicrofyClass.php when:

• You prefer structured, class-based projects but want minimal dependencies
• You’re building tools, scripts, or APIs and don’t need full frameworks
• You want to keep code readable, consistent, and DRY — especially in shared teams
• You want the best of both worlds: OOP and shortcut-style aliases

🛠 Bonus: Procedural Aliases

Want the simplicity of pp($data) or dbAll(...) in your OOP project?

Just include microfy_aliases.php to use short, procedural-style aliases for all Microfy:: methods — no need to prefix everything manually.

require_once 'MicrofyClass.php';
require_once 'microfy_aliases.php';

pp(['quick', 'debug']);
// works alongside Microfy::pp(...)
Microfy::pp(['quick', 'debug']);

🚀 Usage Examples

// Set example input values
$_GET = [
    'name' => 'Alice',
    'city' => 'Wonderland'
];
$_POST = [
    'age' => '30'
];

🧾 Input Handling

$name = getVar('name', 'Guest');
$age  = postVar('age', 'unknown');
$city = requestVar('city', 'Nowhere');
e_p("Hello, $name ($age), from $city.");
e_p("val($_GET, 'name', 'NoName'));

Hello, Alice (30), from Wonderland.

val($_GET, 'name'): Alice

pp([
    'getVars'  => getVars(['name', 'city']),
    'postVars' => postVars(['age']),
    'reqVars'  => reqVars(['name', 'city', 'age'])
]);

Array
(
    [getVars] => Array
        (
            [name] => Alice
            [city] => Wonderland
        )

    [postVars] => Array
        (
            [age] => 30
        )

    [reqVars] => Array
        (
            [name] => 
            [city] => 
            [age] => 
        )

)

injectGlobals(['name', 'city'], $_GET);
e_p("Injected Global: \$name = $name");

Injected Global: $name = Alice

extract(getVarsWithPrefix($_GET));
br($get_name);
br($$get_city);

$_POST['lang'] = 'en';
$_POST['theme'] = 'dark';
pp(loadInputs(['lang', 'theme'], $_POST));

Array
(
    [0] => en
    [1] => dark
)

🗃️ Database (mocked connection)

echo htmlTable(dbAll($pdo, "SELECT id, username, email FROM users"));

$data = ['username' => 'alice', 'email' => 'alice@example.com'];
$id = dbInsert($pdo, 'users', $data);
e_p("Inserted user ID: $id");

Inserted user ID: 3

dbUpdate($pdo, 'users', ['email' => 'alice@newmail.com'], 'id = ?', [$id]);

dbDelete($pdo, 'users', 'username = ?', ['bob']);

echo htmlTable(dbAll($pdo, "SELECT id, username, email FROM users"));

e_h(2, '🔍 Pretty Debugging');
pp(['a' => 1, 'b' => [2, 3]]);
logPr(['user' => 'admin', 'ip' => '127.0.0.1']);
logVd(['server' => $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ?? 'cli']);
