Mysql interaction libraries

Post by Luke »

I have been looking for a decent mysql interaction library for quite some time... and I have never found one. Everything I have found either has way too many features (adodb), not enough features (all the crap on phpclasses.org), or it's insanely slow and clunky. Does anybody know of a good OOP Mysql library? I would really like to find a library that just makes it very easy to implement common patterns like Active Record and Data Mapper. Thanks guys... although I doubt there's anything out there quite like what I'm looking for (OK, there definately isn't because I'm not 100% sure what I even want, so how could anybody else be??).

Zend Framework uses pdo, right? Yea, my host won't let me use pdo... wish I could!

I've checked out adodb_lite before, but I didn't give it that much of an effort... I guess I'll try again.

It's always in active development with new things being added without bloating it out. That's the great thing about being totally modular in design. :) I should have a new version out this week with some new features and one new database driver.
