The likes of ADOdb datadict are still used as a base for metadata in projects, but PDO destroyed the standardisation that used to exist by spawning a number of competing wrappers. https://github.com/ADOdb/ADOdb has evolved from a private project to being supported by it's own community and is worth reconsidering as a proper cross database standard to build on. Validation rules simply build on that base. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
