RE: [PHP] Database Framework

[snip] Is there an on-going initiative as far as creating a PHP framework somewhat the same as .Net's framework implementation? Like for instance, the System.Data namespace where PHP developer can just create something like a DataAdapter which can connect to a datastore and fill a DataSet object? I think that would make our life a little easier? This post is by not any means a way to start a flame war or something, I just thought about it and I think it makes sense. [/snip] If you think so, write it.
