Yes, it is described in the book "Object-Oriented Programming with
PHP5", though it is pretty limited.

Thanks Lester. I've been playing around with it a lot, but haven't got
as comfortable with is as I was with PEAR. :-/


I started with PHP just before PHP5 was finally released, so never used PHP4, 
and found ADOdb very early on so have never used anything else. One gets stuck 
in one's way when something simply works ... Probably why I'm finding PDO such a 
backwards step having been spoilt by the transparent cross db support ADOdb 
provides. I only use Firebird in production, but pulling stuff from other data 
sources is a doddle nowadays.
