Hello everybody,
What do you think is the best method to abstract php code from a specific database?.
Make PHP code 100% database independent?..
Waitin' for your comments.
Muhammed Mamedov
Thanks Ricardo for your comments.
What do you think guys: ADODB or PEAR::DB ?

Thanks Chris... that worked great.
No worries.
Guess I need to spend a _lot_ more time reading the manual.
It also helps alot just lurking on the list (this and/or PHP general).
I've been coding with PHP for almost 6 years and there're still new
things I learn all the time.

There are a couple of products out there that I am about to start testing,
starting first with:
- SQL Relay
http://sqlrelay.sourceforge.net/
This product uses its on C interfaces to interact with DBs and different
programming languages. It addresses a bunch of items in the PHP DB calls.
Oh ya, one more thing, I am going to integrate SQL Relay with the PHP
abstraction layer:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlalphp
to give the functions a more PHP feel to them. Plus, I will be able to
retain DB specific calls if I want with this layer. I have used this layer
with a great deal
I have a site that makes heavy use of a local SQL Server database. Every
6-12 hours the site continuously reports not being able to connect to
the database. That is the only info in the warning that's given. The
only solution I've found is to restart the Apache and MSSQL services.

Hmm..
Thank you for you sql picks:)

PEAR is great from what I hear. The issue you are going to run into with DB
independence is not the function calls which could be handled with something
as simple as sqlalphp. It is the SQL calls themselves. The two options I
have found is a SQL library with unembeded SQL or the Propel
Hi.
We run PHP as a DSO through Apache with IBM DB2 support enabled. We want
to be able to run the same PHP DSO module on a second machine that will
not have support for DB2. How can I configure PHP via the configuration
file such that DB2 support is enabled on one host, and not on another?

If you really want true portability, you may want to try Metabase or
PEAR::MDB which is a conversion of Metabase
mssql_pconnect() may add to problem of too many connections. The reason
is because the persistent connection is associated with the Apache child
process and not the script. This is significant because you are not
guaranteed to be served by the same child everytime the script is invoked.
Thus,
Maybe you are running out of connections.

I'm a cold fusion refugee and am having incredible problems with something
that I think is relatively easy -- so I must be missing something basic.
I would like to pull info from a query string and use it inside a database
call.
I can pull the query string into a general variable:
?php echo
I may be misunderstanding you, but your first statement about pulling from a
query string is throwing me.
?php echo $section; ? will only display the value of $section on the screen.
You will need to build a form to get a value into $section.
form action=soemthing.php
input type=text
I have a table displaying data. The column headers are links that allow the
users to order the content in ASC or DESC.
basic version is:
a href=somefile.php?order=ASCTitle/a
a closer to reality version is (or would be if it worked)
a href=somefile.php?order=
if ($order == ASC){
What error is it giving you? What's not happening? Saying 'It doesn't work'
doesn't help much especially when you don't give all the code.

Looking at that. You are combining html and php without distinguishing
between the two. I am assuming you are in php mode because html wouldn't
give you errors. try this:
echo a href='somefile.php?order=;
if ($order == ASC){
echo DESC;
}else{
echo ASC;
}
echo ';

my bad: I typed in the script and forgot the echo.

Hi gang
this is probably ridicously simple, but I'm new at this SQL stuff, so am a
bit stumped.
It's pretty simple: how do I get only the last record from a single table?

figure out how to do this simple task.

Reverse the order and limit the result to 1.
For example, change:

To:

to get the latest dated item.

Here goes:
1) That should work fine. Be sure and enclose the SQL in double quotes or the

2) That's fine too, nothing wrong there.
3) this is wrong, but it looks like you just ommited the SQL statement. Be

You may have register Globals turned off in php.ini.
Try adding:

Print (echo) out your entire query. You have a syntax error before the
