Mysql and Functions

[Anon]

hi,
i must build a project with database connectivity based on flexible functions with targhet to easy and fast use of rdbms(mysql, mssql, oracle,....).
To do this, i've think to make one function for each database function (eg. mysql_connect, mysql_num_rows...), but i can't set a object such as a recordset of a connection variable for a argument in function and return null values.
What is my problem? is a php.ini configuration to stop me?
Please tell me something and sorry for my english (i'm italian).
thank you guys.
Massimo

You need a data abstraction layer - why not just use pear? It's flexible and has the functions you need. <br>

BTW - mysql is not a rdbms, as it does not support foreign keys.
