RE: [PEAR-DEV] DB_Light

Ok, what I envision is a system that dynamically loads the used features. So there is no need to separate anything. What I am not that clear about is how to do this :-) Any suggestions? Somehow I get my head into a bind very early on in the concept stage. Anyways maybe some of those PHP OOP guru's can step up with this one. Obviously if its not possible to do this we will have to offer to different packages ... or ask Zeev to somehow make it possible :-) Best regards, Lukas Smith smith@dybnet.de _______________________________ DybNet Internet Solutions GbR Alt Moabit 89 10559 Berlin Tel. : +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax : +49 30 83 22 50 07 www.dybnet.de info@dybnet.de _______________________________ > -----Original Message----- > From: lustig@acsu.buffalo.edu [mailto:lustig@acsu.buffalo.edu] > Sent: Tuesday, December 04, 2001 6:22 PM > To: pear-dev@lists.php.net > Subject: [PEAR-DEV] DB_Light > > OK, so I've been thinking, through all of this conversation about a new > DB abstraction layer.
