February's General Meeting continues the database thread started with last month's PostgreSQL presentation by introducing PEAR DB.
PEAR DB is an object oriented API that provides common methods of accessing thirteen of PHP's database driver extensions.
Daniel Convissor, NYPHP speaker and PEAR::DB's current lead developer, presents this month's meeting with highlights of the new version 1.6.0 release. The main points will be major bug fixes, API changes and new portability features that make it possible to write programs that will work with a wide variety of DBMS backends.
As always this meeting is free and open to the public.
