Hello

i am new to PHP and doing a research on using a tool for developing webpages with FireBird Database.

My questions are

1) Which SQL can be used in PHP when talking to a database is it Ansi-SQL or JSQL or any other?

2) Does the application after development can be ported to any database without any issues as can be done with code with JSQL ( java)?

3) PHP is primarily a server side script for client side forms what tools can be used?

4) What is the best reporting tool which gives output in HTML/PDF/PS/Delimited output with PHP?

Please advice.

Thanks in Advance
Mohammed

I would personally use mysql. PHP has built in support for mysql queries. :D
