  • offline-writes also support for libsql-server (sqld)
• 🔒 Transactions, prepared statements, and batch execution
• 🐘 Native PHP extension built in Rust for speed
• 🐳 Easy setup with turso-php-installer

TS = Thread Safe, NTS = Non Thread Safe
✅ Supported on Linux, macOS, Windows, WSL

<?php $libsql = new LibSQL("file:example.db"); // Create a table $libsql->execute("CREATE TABLE users (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT)"); // Insert a row $libsql->execute("INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES (?)", ["Alice"]); // Query data $result = $libsql->query("SELECT * FROM users"); $rows = $result->fetchArray(LibSQL::LIBSQL_ASSOC); foreach ($rows as $row) { echo $row["id"] . " - " . $row["name"] . PHP_EOL; }
