This, but I'd prefer using one of the already available abstractions for PHP: - PDO: http://www.php.net/PDO - DB: http://pear.php.net/package/DB - MDB2: http://pear.php.net/package/MDB2 - DBAL: http://docs.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-dbal/en/latest/ ... let's not re-re-reinvent the wheel ;) I would also highly recommend NOT using the mysql extension anymore in PHP for new projects. Use mysqli (mysql Improved) or PDO_MySQL. Also, learn to love prepared statements. -- Rik Wasmus -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
