Look at the compile log and changelog if you find things "missing"
often (especially in HEAD) things don't compile right
pdo is built "static" or built in by default in the PHP6 snaps (no
php_pdo.dll needed)
ming, dba, dbase, fdf and some others have been moved to PECL - this
information is in NEWS and changelog files
Thanks,
Elizabeth

I have to create a data access layer (DAL) to be used in PHP. It looks like
writing a COM object and loading it from PHP would be the best bet.
Question 1: Is COM the best solution here?
Question 2: if I had an interface "char* query("Blah")" How would I return
the result set into a PHP var?
Question 3: Anyone know of a good tutorial that creates a COM object and
accesses it via PHP?
Thanks! (P.S. this is my first time posting in a newsgroup)
