CDESimple.php

I'm encouraging everyone to get familiar with the cdesimple.php library as it is more than just a platform on which to abstract databases. For one it is cacheing queries in memory, and it attempts to provide an enhanced debugger for the developer. Not only do you see where the error occured in the cdesimple.php file but also on which line in your application. The good thing about this is that the debugger encapsulates your whole project, hopefully providing you with meaningful errors. In our coming releases we will still ship the old cdeclass.php as most of us will still have applications using that, however would be good to start new developments only using cdesimple.php. The mindset of the whole project is only to use one file to support everything. A new feature on cdesimple is the addition of the sql_report feature using FPDF. You will need to have those libraries present to make use of this tool which also generates CSV files from the query provided.

If you are using CDE and are finding it too difficult to get started with please let us know. We want to make this tool easy to use. The benefits are wonderful once you port your first CDE application to another database and all that was changed was the database type.
We need your feedback to make this a tool that PHP developers will use as a good foundation to their project.
