Oh i forgot about db abstraction, my favourite :) !<br><br>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  .. :-)<br>

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 :-)<div>

<br>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:<br><br>----<br>i<br>Parameters to be received by function:<br><ol>



<li>
Associative array with name of form element and corresponding name of table column</li><li>Name of table, to be used to construct the INSERT statement</li><li>A flag to instruct the function to return the last_insert_id() for those cases where you need it for the next save</li>




</ol><br>To be returned by the function<br><ol><li>The last_insert_id() if specified</li><li>A boolean value indicating if the saving was successful or not</li></ol><br>Anything else I am missing?<br>
