Bug #13700 Updated: Database Abstraction API

ID: 13700 Updated by: rasmus Reported By: cpjunk@email.com Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: All PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: PHP ships with 2 such abstraction layers. A language-level one called dbx and a user-space one called DB which is part of PEAR. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-16 19:38:17] cpjunk@email.com There doesn't appear to be a standard database access API in PHP. Instead there's a separate API for each database supported. This is insanity for anyone that wants to be able to support multiple databases. I know there are a number of database abstraction APIs available for PHP but I don't know which one is the best or which one will be continue to be supported in the future. Are there plans to address these issues in a future release of PHP by adopting one of these abstraction APIs into PHP or creating a new one? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13700&edit=1
