I'm working for a web development company and many of our clients have shared hosting. Since PHP 5.1 is out, the best I've seen is PDO with SQLite driver and nothing more. The reason to create PHPPDO is because our framework makes heavy use of PDO and we need to mimic PDO for hosts that don't have it or don't have the required driver. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
