“PHP’s database access functions are not standardised. This
creates a need for a database class library to hide the differences
between the different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we

“We currently support MySQL, MS SQL 7 Foxpro, Access, and
generic ODBC. We hope more people will contribute drivers to
support other databases.“
