Hi *, I have a question about DB adapters. Let me briefly explain my applicative context.
I am a teacher and I would like to make a web interface to handle the lab works of my students (something like: the students download the text of their homework, do their work and upload their report). My school has a web server, but, as you can imagine, I have not administrative privileges. On the web server we have MySQL, but obtaining a db is quite a bureaucratic nigthmare. Since handwriting PHP sites is not my idea of fun (I already did that), I would like to try to use Cake, but because of the bureaucratic nigthmare above, I would like to use a "pure PHP" db library (I already have it, I use it in the handwritten PHP site I was talking about before). Before getting scandalized, please note that my site will be a _very_small_ one, with a _very_small_ number of users (< 100, typically ~40). In this case the full firepower of MySQL (or other DB engines) is not needed. The only problem is that I need an adapter for my "pure PHP DB". My question(s) are 1. I believe that I am not the first one having this problem and I would rather avoid reinventing the wheel. Are you aware of some "pure PHP" DB which can be used with Cake? 2. If the answer to the first question was "no", is the interface that an adapter must expose documented somewhere? As a first guess, I looked at the dbo_*.php files and I guess I could just copy-and-modify one of those (the code is quite clear), but if some more "official" documentation is available, I would fell on a more stable ground. I tried searching this newsgroup with several combinations of "database", "adapter", "engine", "light" and so on, but I was not able to find anything.
