I have just released the first version of a library package called 'phpapi'(Called my project a ridiculous long name) which is designed to experiment with two ideas in mind.

I have developed a test database with two tables and an "index.php" that demostrates most of the functions in the library. Only supports mysql at the moment. I have posted a couple of documents to help get started with the api.
