I'm sorry, but you're wrong here. There is a database abstraction layer nowadays in PHP. It is not the nicest one found on the planet, but it does work and it provides a generic API for using various databases. It's called PDO, documented at http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php There are PDO drivers for MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle and a bunch more databases. And it is part of the standard PHP distribution. I agree PHP is not the most beautiful language on the planet, but it is still slowly improving and for many tasks a logical choice.
