PHP - ADOdb

ADOdb - PHP module H998

PHP provides integrated support for a number of different relational databases using the facilities of each database to the full, resulting in code that isn't easily portable. This module looks at ADOdb (free download) which lets you add a wrapper layer on the integrated support to help provide future portability.
