PHP3/4 PostgreSQL Abstraction Class

By Andrew Tejero (Vancouver)
on March 9, 2001

Version: 1.0

Type: Full Script

Category: Databases

License: GNU General Public License

Description: This is a database abstraction class for use with PHP3/4 and PostgreSQL (see TITLE).
This class uses internal error handling (e.g: if a query screws up, it won’t be outputted thru the server, so end users won’t see ugly SQL error messages. Also, all functions are interrelated to one and other
resultId’s connectionId’s and the like are
all handled internally by the class, so one you execute a query, you can find out the number of rows returned in one function call with no parameters.

Who would wanna use this class:

1) People who do not want sql error output
to the browser

2) People who want customized error
handling

3) Developers who want a well designed
database abstraction class.

Who wouldn’t want it:

1) People who don’t like to handle
errors (but if you design you database
/ query’s well, you should have no
problem.

Anyhow, enjoy! (im working on a even better version)

      Usage Example:

                    // we'll only display output for the latter.
                    print("nError: " . $dbObject->dbGetErrors() . "!");
                  }
           print("<table>");
