echo $flags['querytype'];

Parsing and building SQL query

require __DIR__."/vendor/autoload.php";

$query1 = "select * from a";
$parser = new SqlParser\Parser($query1);

// inspect query
var_dump($parser->statements[0]); // outputs object(SqlParser\Statements\SelectStatement)

// modify query by replacing table a with table b
$table2 = new \SqlParser\Components\Expression("", "b", "", "");
$parser->statements[0]->from[0] = $table2;

// build query again from an array of object(SqlParser\Statements\SelectStatement) to a string
$statement = $parser->statements[0];
$query2 = $statement->build();
var_dump($query2); // outputs string(19) "SELECT  * FROM `b` "
