I could suggest a number of ways around the if/else construct, such as
creating a subclass for the various servers with a uniform interface
and hiding the differences inside the class.

Cross-platform coding is folly. There are too many differences (LIMIT, ROWNUM,
SEQUENCE vs AUTO_INCREMENT, ...) that you either stumble over, or end up
special casing, or you simply code to the least common denominator, thereby
getting poor performance on all platforms.

I suppose an easier way is to have a getrow function, Something like
while ($row = getrow($RS) {
.

.
}
function getrow($RS)
{
if ($current_server_is_mysql)
{
return mysql_fetch_assoc($RS);
}
else
