[PHP] Database Code Portability

I haven't seen this issue discussed, sorry if I missed it: My question is why are the PHP database functions so unportable? Is there a reason why they have to be specific to, say MySQL. It seems to me (even though I am an amatuer to this stuff) that the code should be much more easily portable

[PHP] A apache/php/mysql/linux security tutorial?

I have read through variouos docs to learn about security issues for running a linux/apache/mysql/php server and have learned a lot. What I'd like, though, is to know if there is an overall tutorial on this specific topic, where all the info is in one place? Hopefully aimed at the newbie?
