In PHP internally they're hash tables.

To start with, it could support most of the features found within SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE at least from a single table. Support could be added later for joins and other complex SQL commands. Mimic the mysql commands in php. Suppose an array exists called $array. $qry = php_query("SELECT * FROM $array where name = "Bill"); php_fetch_array($qry); I believe such a feature would add to the overall ease of use of php, especially for newer programmers and people coming from other languages that are already familiar with SQL commands. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52352&edit=1
