And that's not the only reason.
If you think about it, in most cases, a web application consists in
manipulating datas from user to database, and from database to user.
But database is not the only data connector in the scene. I think about
xml, rss, php arrays, csv files, etc...
I was pondering similar things, but I am not really sure if having all
those adaptors extend from a common base class is the way to go. I'd
rather define an interface that includes methods most commonly used in
data retrieval / updating, like search(), save() and the likes... you'd
also need some means of iterating over the collections, thus a
collection object returned by, for example a search() method could just
implement a standard SPL iterator.
What do you think?
