Spread your database connections with PHP PDO

PDO is actually the best thing you can get

The author falsely stated that PDO's greatest feature is code portability. There is only partial portability - on API side, not on SQL side.

Though, having SQL incompatibilities with PDO is still far better than having SQL _and_ API issues with pg_*, mysql_, oracle_*, etc functions. Just a drop of common sense is required to write fairly portable SQL statements.

The biggest advantages of PDO are in my opinion 1) prepared statements and 2) safe input 3) multiple connections.
