MDB 2.0

Hi, just to let everyone know I am making some progress with MDB 2.0. MDB 2.0 is now mostly refactored. I still need to read the LOB support though. If you want to have a little sneak peek you can look at the example.php in the example folder in CVS (MDB 2.0 is developed in HEAD and MDB 1.x in the MDB_1 branch). It requires that you have run the MDB_test.php from the MDB 1.x release tree beforehand if you want to execute the script and get meaningful results. Here you can see the modularization in action already, for example: $db->loadExtended(); $array = $db->extended->queryAll($db, $query); alternatively: $extended =& $db->loadExtended(); $array = $extended->queryAll($db, $query); With otherloading I can probably get rid of the call to $db->loadExtended(). Most users preferred passing of a reference instead of storing a reference in the module. So that is what I implemented. So you could actually do: $array = MDB_Extended::queryAll($db, $query); Obviously its not quite that useful to use this for the Manager (and Datatype) stuff: MDB_Manager_Mysql::createDatabase($db, $name); But either way this prevent recursive references like $db->datatype->db being a reference to itself. regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
