Class: phpPostgreSQLdB

Class that provides an abstraction layer above the PHP PostgreSQL API. This centralizes all the database connection info such as host, port, etc. Same class an be used to connect to multiple databases on different servers and on different ports.

In addition to "normal" stuff that you'd expect from a db abstraction layer, it also supports transactions among other things. Comprehensive error checking/management.

}

$db->commitTrans();
if (!$db->exec("SELECT * FROM weather"))
