Cross Database Engine for PHP
Simple Database Abstraction for PHP across many Databases
Screenshots
Description
CDE is a PHP class which implements the general database functions in PHP and provides a common SQL platform for php development where developers change their databases but not their code. Supports Firebird, MySQL,Oracle,SQLite, MSSQL(both drivers),CUBRID,ODBC. CDE now supports date uniformity, param passing & BLOB handling across all the databases supported.
CDE is not a replacement for PDO, in fact we may implement PDO in CDE to standardize PDO results and calls. Some PDO drivers are still regarded as EXPERIMENTAL on PHP website, so use with caution.
Please make sure of the goals of this project before posting ignorant comments.

Nice project, but I also think php already has an uniform interface for connecting and accessing databases: PDO (php data objects). You should use that, and than make sure the parsesql() function knows to translate SQL to the right database type by some other means. Actually, the operating system also has an uniform interface for connecting and accessing databases: ODBC. Can you include support for ODBC in the project ? That will also make it easier for me to add my own database type.. Anyway, great job !

I would recommend this to all developers who want to write their code once and port to other databases. Effectively all database functions are merged into 3 to 4 basic functions so the end result is less code to do the same thing from a database function perspective. Blobs for instance are retrieved (optional) by default when a row is retrieved.

Actually this is not the proper method to interface with databases from php - PDO should be used, see these links for more information: http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/why-you-should-be-using-phps-pdo-for-database-access/

I would recommend this to all developers to use. This is a great and effective project.
