Oh i forgot about db abstraction, my favourite :) ! Well I have heard of adodb, doctrine (ported form a java doctrine) and ezsql (something like that). I earlier on had decided to do one from scratch - it turned to be an exciting challenge. i started out by abstracting select,update,insert and delete function .. then slowly moved towards creating db objects in php-oo, kitu kama hiyo. for production you could use what you already have confidence in, for play well .. :-) On 9 November 2010 01:49, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:
Already looked into code igniter, it has something similar, I think. Zend framework has the exact same thing I need, but using a framework for the need I have at hand is like chartering the VMS Eve for a trip to shaggs :-)

Good people, I seek to write a generic, reusable set of functions that, given a GET/POST array, a table name and a few other instructions, can retrieve data from a form and save it in one or more tables. Anyone know of anything similar which I can build upon?
If there is one thing I find totally boring, its processing form data. Oh yeah, ideas on how to do this are also welcome, below are my initial ideas:
---- i Parameters to be received by function:
1. Associative array with name of form element and corresponding name of table column 2. Name of table, to be used to construct the INSERT statement 3. A flag to instruct the function to return the last_insert_id() for those cases where you need it for the next save
To be returned by the function
1. The last_insert_id() if specified 2. A boolean value indicating if the saving was successful or not
Anything else I am missing?
