Newbie is trying to set up OOP With PHP and MySQL or MySQLi database class (using CRUD)

Hi everybody, Newbie is trying to set up OOP With PHP and MySQL or MySQLi database class (using CRUD) Simple story: creating this class database by myself is way over my head. So it be best for me to find something on the Internet that has already been created and working to pro specs (using CRUD with good security etc). In my studying, it seems that there is a difference between MySQL and MySQLi - MySQLi being the preferred choice if I understand correctly. There are lots of examples on the Internet however I don't know enough about it to know a good starting example from a bad starting example, so I would much appreciate any assistance pointing me towards a good starting point This seems a good start to me untrained eye, but it seems to be for mysql - not mysqli... http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/real-world-oop-with-php-and-mysql/ http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/223360-connect-to-your-database-using-oop-php5-with-mysql-and-mysqli/ http://snipplr.com/view/8417/ http://snipplr.com/view/12535/ any assistance is appreciated! -- Thanks, Dave - DealTek dealtek@gmail.com [db-3]
