Only a question: when / how the disconnect method must be called? Is the connection automatically closed when the script ends?

I've heard about it but not really understood it. Is it a bundled part of the latest PHP releases, or an addon? But, yes, you should get this updated ;] Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:50:51 -0500 Markus http://motomastyle.com/creating-a-mysql-data-abstraction-layer-in-php/#PageComment_24 http://motomastyle.com/creating-a-mysql-data-abstraction-layer-in-php/#PageComment_23 This needs updating to PHP5. Also, there is already a database class built into PHP called MySQLi, so it's easier to use this and just extend it to add your own abstraction functions. For example you could override mysqli::query() with your function above. Tue, 21 Oct 2008 15:48:23 -0400 Chris http://motomastyle.com/creating-a-mysql-data-abstraction-layer-in-php/#PageComment_23
