Hi,
Anywhoo, that being said, does anyone have a suggestion for a good database abstraction class?
Ooh, I think you'll get the odd one or two...
Preferably one that already has decent support for several open source databases?
PEAR::DB was good, but IIRC it's now been deprecated in favour of MDB2. Which may or may not also be in PEAR.
Thanks! http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2 looks like what I'm looking for. I'll give that one a try. Never used pear before, but I seem to recall there being some issues where pear did not provide very good forward support when moving to new versions of php causing a need to recode. Is that still an issue?
