they are both coded against an abstract database interface. it could even make sense to write one test against an abstract class then create concrete subclasses for each specific library. then in the future adding a test for, say postgre, would be trivial. -nathan

lly cli scripts are brief. however, if you have a long running cli script apc might be useful in the context of the cli. ive been curious about this myself. if anyone has a definitive answer, im looking forward to it. -nathan

ractice in this case is to mark said dead code as a candidate for removal on the next release cycle of the software. using these techniques in concert i think you can keep the code fairly clean. -nathan

Re: [PHP] About PHP Implements

s keyword just to 'implement' parent_class. you can only implement one interface in this way. there is no way to reasonably emulate the interface construct in php4. in c++ you can emulate the interface construct by having a class that is entirely virtual, but too bad; php4 doesnt have abstract classes either. i recommend an upgrade to php5. -nathan
