We have had outstanding success with the ADODB package for our JAYA123
order-entry, invoicing web-service ( http://www.jaya123.com). We tried the
fist three and thought all did a good job, were fast, easy to use, simple to
install, etc. We chose ADODB because it had some classes that allowed syntax
that was similar to how Microsoft Jet is coded and we have a lot of
experience on that platform from past lives, so our learning curve was a bit
flatter. I highly recommend ADODB, but the others are fine as well. I think
it will come down to personal preference. Try them all... there is no wrong
answer here IMO. YMMV.

In my case they provide too little abstraction. I wanted to isolate the
database, queries et al, completely from the application code. For my own
abstraction layer, it was more straight forward to call the PHP functions
directly.

I think you want something that goes beyhond just database abstraction.
You may want to try Metastorage. This is a tool that will generate data
access object classes from a simple data model definition. It wraps you
database tables into classes as if the your table rows were objects of
those classes.
Metastorage also generates classes that installs the database schema for
you as well generate forms that handle common types of manipulations
like creating new objects (table row entries).
Forms presentation is defined from themes that can be chosen from a
pre-defined selection that makes your Web forms look like familiar
desktop OS applications or you can design your own with your templates.
As a bonus, it generates nice UML class diagrams to let you make a good
impression your boss or your clients.
Take a look at the screenshots here: http://www.meta-language.net/screenshots.html

For those kind of features it might be worth checking out the Web
Application Component Toolkit project http://wact.sourceforge.net/
It features some nice database abstraction, provides a
compatibility layer for both PEAR::DB and ADODB, has a Paging
feature and has a very cool template engine. You can implement a
paged recordset with only a few lines of PHP code.

A user writes this sentence: "It was the New Urbanist's nightmare of
sprawl run amok."
They input that and my PHP script hits it with addslashes() and then
the sentence gets put in the database. A slash is likely inserted in
front of the quote mark in "Urbanist's".
Later the user runs a search of the database for "New Urbanist's
nightmare".

hi!
i tested several php database abstraction layers (db, mdb(2), creole,
adodb, etc), but i always missed one really important feature:
i need a method for a limited select which gives me the resultset and
the total number of rows the select would have returned without the
limit.
nativly this is very easy
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND ROWS * FROM table LIMIT 0,10 in mysql for
example.

Is there a good DataBase Abstraction layer that will handle the
mySql, Sql Server, and MS Access engines? I do not wish to write the
same functions with the three different PHP db functions.
I see that php_dba is listed as an extension, but I determine which
DBs are supported. However, I think that it does not support the ones
I need.

I'm looking for any comparisons of PHP Database Abstraction Layers out
there, with an eye towards speed/efficiency. I'm still using PEAR::DB,
which obviously leaves something to be desired.
I'm at a point now where I can look at switching to a better system.

On past projects in PHP4 I had always just written my own libraries to

So now I've started researching all these things that are available,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
