Wrong indeed.. :( Look at the PHP manual.
There are abstraction layers out there like the one that phplib provides,
but I don't care for the overhead phplib imposes (it sources the file
every time there is a request).
PHP4 brings us PEAR, kind of a CPAN, but for PHP code. If you look at
CVS PHP4, you'll see the pear directory, that contains the start of a
common db access module. I'd rather see this integrated into the
language, rather than take that approach.
I've got an abstraction layer that I wrote (it's a class). I've got
modules for MySQL, M$$QL, and am working on pgsql. It's not ready
for prime time yet though.
