Since the introduction of the object model in PHP4 and the subsequent re-write in PHP5, I have always created my own abstraction classes and have found them very useful for things such as error handling. While looking around one day, I came across a list of abstraction libraries already created. After trying many of them and benchmarking a few of the top ones (ADODB, PEAR:DB, Metabase etc.) I have settled on ADODB. I however don’t use ADODB for its portability to other databases. This is a common misconception that users are given about (DALs) database abstraction layers. Switching from one database to another will never be an easy task, mainly because of a few SQL commands that are unique to each DBMS. One could argue that developers should never use non-standard SQL anyway, but that’s for another time.

In this article I will try to give a view of what is the custom caching with php, why and how we can use it.
In the modern days, most of the sites are database driven. That means that your site is actually an application which retrieves data from a DBMS ( database managment system, eg MySQL) , parses the data and shows the result to the user. Most of these data are usually don't change frequently or don't change at all, and the reason that we use the database is that we can easilly update the site and the content.

This tutorial will provide you with a simple walk-through on how to install ADODB on any system. ADODB is a database abstraction layer library, basically providing OOP support through PHP to connect to a database.

SQLite is an embedded database library that implements a large subset of the SQL 92 standard. Its claim to fame is the combination of both the database engine and the interface (to said engine) within a single library, as well as the ability to store all the data in a single file. I terms of functionality SQLite resides somewhere between MySQL and PostgreSQL. However, when it comes to performance, SQLite is often 2-3 times faster (or even more). This is thanks to a highly tuned internal architecture, and the elimination of server-to-clientand client-to-server communication.
