Although I really liked it when I did use it, I haven't used PHP for a couple years. I'm wondering if DB PEAR has matured and has become the PHP "standard" for interacting with db's with a db independent interface? When I used PHP with mysql (2+ years ago), Pear was new and not widely used. In fact, I ended up writing my own db independent layer, since there didn't seem to be a "standard" one that everyone agreed on or liked.
