MySQL Database Abstraction

Provides an Abstraction layer for MySQL. I use this class in all my coding.This class is based on the original PHP Base Library distribution, although I`ve eschewed much of the original functionality of the PHPLib version, mostly in order to get "as close to the metal" as possible and provide only those functions which I`ve found I use in all my PHP coding. The main purpose is to encapsulate and simplify the Details of connecting to a MySQL database and performing queries.That`s right, MySQL and MySQL only. I`m not currently interested in developing an all-purpose database abstraction tool; in general, I don`t like to be abstracted that Far away from the DB.This class is designed for a single database; to use it, extend the class in your code, with the given database/user/password you will Connect to. For multiple databases, Derive additional classes.
