PEAR PHP Tutorials

PEAR stands for the PHP Extension and Application Repository. PEAR is a collection of packages written in PHP. Each package has specific functionality that can be incorporated into your existing code, a benefit that makes it much less time consuming to build a site or application from scratch. With the PEAR installer, you can do much more than just install packages from pear.php.net. You can install packages from other PEAR channels, distribute your own software projects using your own PEAR channel, and even maintain a complex intranet web project, all using the PEAR installer.

PEAR's DB classes are one such database abstraction layer, and in this article we'll take a look at some traditional database access methods and then compare them with the method employed by PEAR.
