From: ard@ard.nu (Ard Biesheuvel) Guys, Sorry for the late reply. As you might have guessed already, PHP is not a high priority for me at the moment. First of all, you will probably remember that I was not completely satisfied with the direction set out for PDO, the reason being that the chosen model for PDO doesn't map really well to Firebird/Interbase. I wholeheartedly agree with 'majority rules' and all of that, and I'm convinced that PDO will be a great success. But for me, PDO/Firebird isn't that much of a challenge anymore. The main reason for not participating lately, however, is that I'm really busy working in a completely different field. I'm doing research on PVR-applications for Philips [no, I had nothing to do with the patent about blocking the controls during a commercial block :-)], and it doesn't involve PHP or Firebird. So it seems I won't be of any use to you lot in the near future.
