The two extensions are disimilar in enough ways to make any attempt to unify the interface moot. For example, look at pg_exec() and mysql_query(). These two functions affectively do the same thing and yet they are named differently and accept their arguments in the opposite order. -- Jon Parise (jon@csh.rit.edu) .
