PHP is a wonderful language for building dynamic web pages.
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, PHP's database access functions are not standardised.
|
|
|
|
|
Every database extension uses a different and incompatibile API.
|
|
|
|
|
This creates a need for a database class library to hide the differences
|
|
|
|
|
between the different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we can
|
|
|
|
|
easily switch databases.
