It's Friday, so... Yes, it's true, I have just started looking at using PDO instead of mysqli -- a bit behind the times... My question at this stage, is do people tend to extend the PDO class for their own use, or encapsulate it in a class (or do most people use it mostly in procedural code?)

I stick to use it as components as it is said "Do not use inheritance for code re-use" :)

The idea that you shouldn't use inheritance for code reuse is absolute nonsense as it makes a mockery of one of the fundamental principles of object oriented programming. If you make a mess of inheritance it's because your implementation is flawed, not that the concept is flawed. Next you'll be saying "don't use encapsulation"or "don't use polymorphism".
