Everybody,
My name is Richard Edens, i work as a technical director at http://www.thinc1st.com in the netherlands. Thinc1st is a company wich is specialised in many fields.
My speciality within the company is to build database driven websites with PHP.
From the 1st of juli 2002 i've started the project named EDL.
Wich is a draft for implementing an easy to use command like language to
opperate on databases.
This language can be used withing querystrings and post-forms.
EDL stands for Easy Database Language.
And is like a layer on top of all mysql functions of PHP.
This draft has been implementen into 10 website projects of ours, with allot
of succes.
The easyness in wich you can manipulate databases and the easyness of making
your webapplication secure and relieable are so good that we think its worth to make
it open source.
Unfortuanetly my C and C++ skills are not that good, wich are requiered to
build an internal extension for PHP 5 (or external).
Both ways would at least make the working of EDL boost up enourmesly.
To explain what EDL exactly is, take a look at the syntax of Lasso and/or
Filemaker wich is used for communication.
People who are willing to give EDL an open source change and who are skilled
with the PHP API and C or C++ can contact me on richard@thinc1st.com.
EDL must become open source, but i need help in this.
Best regards,
Richard Edens
Richard-
If this is merely about database abstraction, there are already several
PEAR classes which accomplish this. If not, then... well... I have no idea
what you're describing.
Since you state that you intend to make EDL an OpenSource project, why not
simply post the relevant information about it on the web now. (Or perhaps
you have?) I tried visiting your website but since Dutch was the only
language offered I didn't make it past the homepage.
Depending on what your project does there may or may not be developers
interrested in porting it to a PECL extension, though from what you describe
(working on top of existing mysql functions) it sound like its more well
suited to PEAR. Take a look at http://pear.php.net if you're so inclined.

Understanding Dutch doesn't help in finding any information about EDL on the
website. :)
The whole thing sounds a little vague, but interesting nonetheless.
