+1 I would image a typical use case for php is to connect to a backend DB and generate html. In this situation, I can't understand why a DB abstraction layer is also not a part of the standard libraries. I can't get why mysql_*(), mysqli_(), pg_*(), etc still exist when we have adodb, peardb, etc. - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
