Until now, in using MySQL with PHP, I've just adapted the native mysql function to my own uses. For instance, I have a mysql_update_array() function that simplifies updating values in a single row in a table.

But now that I contemplating migrating to PostGreSQL, it occurred to me that now is the time to seriously investigate an abstract DB class -- and find the best open source one out there.

The reason: I got started using Dreamweaver.

Anyway, I finally did look it up. The rule?

The other reason I never mastered this was I started working in PHP and was more concerned on creating relative links from a variable defined root level. In that case -- say where you move a site from a subdirectory on your local server to the root directory of a production server -- these kinds of links are not that handy.

Still getting used to Linux. I was wondering what the different standard subdirectories (dev, etc, opt, misc, etc.) are meant for. Found a nice table explaining them on tldp.org.

For some reason, this isn't second nature for me yet:



I think this can also be done in one step like this:



Both only work for picking one element from array.
