RE: [PHP] abstraction for databases

I wrote a PHP-based "wrapper" for mySQL databases. It analyzes your table structures and creates some PHP classes with basic "put/get" methods, as well as a "save self to database" and a "load self from database" set of methods. These are then extended into more specific classes, just using the wrappers as a base. It's not cross-database or anything, but it's been of good use to code against. Abstracts your database tables into easily managed classes. =) I'll see if the owner (I wrote it under contract to a company) will allow me to release it. If so, I'll post it to the lists and submit an article on phpbuilder for it. I can't find a whole lot of info on PEAR, so I'm just using this for now. Anyone have a site for PEAR info, or just the PEAR directory? -Szii At 06:45 PM 11/8/00 +0100, Lars Holm Nielsen wrote: >Take a look in PEAR directory of PHP.
