Lean PDO for PHP

Problem

Small PHP projects don't justify an ORM, but raw PDO means repeating the same prepare, bind, fetch and error-handling block in every file that touches the database.

Approach

A thin chainable wrapper that keeps statements prepared and parameters bound by default. No model layer, no migrations, no config file to learn first.

Result

Zero dependencies, and the query code in my own PHP work has read the same way since 2022.
