Tom Whitbread on Building a MySQL Database Abstraction Class in PHP

one comment

Congratulations to my good friend Tom Whitbread on his recent publication in php|architect, Building a MySQL Database Abstraction Class.

Database abstraction is not just useful to promote database agnosticism—it can be used to improve database interaction all around! In this article, Tom Whitbread shows you how to tame the MySQL API by creating a class which will handle errors, allow query execution, transport results, and strip or add slashes to your input data.

Great work, Tom, and thanks for sharing your work with the community.
