PHP Database Abstraction Layer

["Luke Woollard" <luke@taborvision.com>]

I once read a great article in the first or second issue of
http://www.phparch.com/ on database abstraction layers. At which point I
used the tutorial as a starting point for creating a very similar structure
I named dbWave. There are only minor differences and a postgresql driver is
now included for the most common pg_* functions.

I was just wondering if anyone has developed a database abstraction layer
that allows you to separate your SQL queries from your application logic
like dbWave does? I'm looking for a more advanced way of doing this?


Attached is dbWave for anyone to look at/use. To run it you need to use the
following tags in your file:

	// DBWave include files
	include( "[attached_filename].php" );

To instantiate the dbWave object you use the following code in a file name
connect.php
<?php

	/* This file instantiates dbWave using our chosen API */
	/* It is automatically generated by the database setup program */

	// Instantiate dbWave using the MySQL API
	$dbWave = new Mysql();

	// Connect to the database
	$dbWave->connect( 'yourhost', 'yourport', 'yourdbname', 'yourdbuser',
'yourdbpass' );
?>
