Database access functions in PHP are not standardised. This library hides the differences between them, a above all, it gives you a very handy interface.

The best way how to install Dibi is to use a Composer:

php composer.phar require dibi/dibi

Or you can download a latest package from http://dibiphp.com. In this package is also Dibi.minified, shrinked single-file version of whole Dibi, useful when you don't want to modify library, but just use it.

Refer to the examples directory for examples. Dibi documentation is available on the homepage.

Dibi requires PHP 5.2.0 or later. It has been tested with PHP 5.5 too.
