This is a quick review on ezSQL based on the examples given on the web site. I have not reviewed the actual ezSQL source code. The ezsql code is ridiculously easy because the connection and setup info is hidden in the include file. This is ridiculous, not easy :-) > Lukas Smith wrote: > > After reading vincents article > (http://www.databasejournal.com/features/php/article.php/10898_1485971) > I am also not sure what the new benefits are that your package offers. > > It seems you were not aware of a fair number of features in PEAR DB > atleast (I don't know ADOdb well enough to really tell about it). Since ADOdb has a PEAR emulation mode, most of the features of ezSQL are available as functions such as GetOne, GetRow, GetAssoc, GetCol. So nothing much new in ezSQL, except for clever use of include statements. Regards, John
