Its probably the most advanced DB abstraction layer for PHP3. Indeed, if Metabase works on PHP3, that´s probably the best way to go, especially as there´s MDB in PEAR which offers a Metabase API wrapper, so when you decide to switch to a more recent PHP version and use PEAR, you should quite easily be able to switch to MDB without much hassle. You´re of course right when you say...: > i dont really need the installer just those 3 files to work ....but still, you won´t even be able to use the DB package standalone with PHP3. When I started using PEAR::DB (must have been somewhere in early 2001) the minimum requirement was PHP 4.0.4PL1 already - I would assume that the minimum required version got even higher in the meantime.
