AbstractDB is a PHP database abstraction layer, objected oriented and extensible via driver implementations which extend from a common base class. This package encapsulates all of the basic functions required by most developers without the complexity and/or utter simplicity of many other abstraction packages. Incorporating AbstractDB into your applications is as easy as including a single file. AbstractDB is currently only distributed with a driver for MySQL but can easily be extended for use with other database servers or even other abstraction libraries.
