I've managed to create a working module using the 'web application
development with php 4.0' book, lurking on this list, searching on the net
and nosing through the code. The module is able to use functions from the
compiled-in mysql-module and all seems ok, so I think the basic ingredients
to build a db-abstraction module are available...

You could try www.zend.com/apidoc, which contains a part of the book I
mentioned and gives a nice intro/howto to developing php-extensions. It's
helped me, I know :-)

Cheerio, Marc.

I have (just now), but it seems to do a great deal more than I have in mind
(plus it needs daemons running that only run on linux/unix-like systems) and
it uses it's own database functions instead of the modules that are already
available to PHP...

Cheerio, Marc.

I know, but this is done in php-script, not as a php-module... wouldn't a
php-module be more efficient (faster?) and less hassle to use for people
(php compiled with dbal-module and eg mysql-module, users just type
$handle=dbal_connect("MySQL", "dbname", "username", "pasword"); or something
and don't have to include the php-scripts on their own pages) ?

Cheerio, Marc.

[PHP-DEV] database abstraction layers [from: MySQL feature/bug]

[Marc Boeren]

Is this an db abstraction layer written in php (script), or written as a
module for php (C)?

I was thinking of writing an (open source) db-abstraction module (that uses
existing db-modules, of course), which could then be used from php-script as
well as from other modules that need db-functionality without committing to
a specific database.

Or, does such a module exist already and should I concentrate on using
and/or co-developing that one?

Thanks, Marc.
