fix: use isset() when checking table property value (#52)

We can't access the `$this->table` property before initialization, so let's use `isset()` to check if the property has a value.

-This library provides abstraction methods for common operations on MySQL-like databases like `SELECT`, `UPDATE`, and `INSERT` using method chaining for the various MySQL features.
+This is a simple abstraction library for MySQL DML operations.
 
 For example:
 ```php
-MySQL->for(string $table)
+MySQL->from(string $table)
-  ->with(?array $model)
   ->where(?array ...$conditions)
   ->order(?array $order_by)
-  ->limit(int|array|null $limit)
+  ->limit(?int $limit = null, ?int $offset = null)
-  ->select(array $columns): array|bool;
+  ->select(string|array|null $columns = null): mysqli_result|bool;
 ```
 which would be equivalent to the following in MySQL:
 ```sql
-SELECT $columns FROM $table WHERE $filter ORDER BY $order_by LIMIT $limit;
+SELECT `columns` FROM `table` WHERE `filter` ORDER BY `order_by` LIMIT `limit`;
 ```
 
-> [!IMPORTANT]
+- All methods can be chained in any order (even multiple times) after a [`from()`](#from) as long as a [`select()`](#select), [`insert()`](#insert), [`update()`](#update), or [`delete()`](#delete) is the last method.
-> This library is built on top of the PHP [`MySQL Improved`](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.mysqli.php) extension and requires PHP 8.0 or newer.
+- Chaining the same method more than once will override its previous value. Passing `null` to any method that accepts it will unset its value completely.
 
 ## Install from composer
 
 ```
-composer require victorwesterlund/libmysqldriver
+composer require vlw/mysql
 ```
 
 ```php
-use libmysqldriver/MySQL;
