Drongo PHP Database Connection SystemAuthor: jawapro

Well - guess what?
I´ve actually developed some dodgey code that other people might find usefull.
I´ve named it the "
Drongo PHP Database Connection System".
If you´re interested in PHP programming and especially using MySQL and Postgres databases - then this might interest you. Otherwise - you´d probably want to skip this post.
Basically - the Drongo system means you can write code that will work on both MySQL and Postgres systems - by only changing a line or two (in the dbwrapper.php file).
Instead of calling either database directly, you have to call the functions in my code. It includes:
dbconnect()
dbwrite()
dbread()
dbdisconnect()
And when the data comes back - it´s in the Postgres format. As in $arrayname[$i][´fieldname´]
So for each row that matches, you get one entry in the first array, and that entry is an array of all the fields.
Sound complicated? Well - I used to use the MySQL way of doing things for ages - but now I´ve used Postgres, I dont want to go back. Why? - not sure, but I like it.
But sometimes you have to use MySQL because Postgres isnt avaliable - and this will let you emulate it. Sort of. Dosnt do anything about dates and what-not. It´s only the way you send SQL to-and-fro.
At the moment it has no documentation or anything - so it might be difficult to understand - but I wanted to put it up here so I can find it when I need it :)
I´ll add some proper documentation soon.
So if you´re interested - take a look.
