Abstracting a database class

Hey all!



I've been using PHP for a while and I'm hearing that I should look into


using it OO. I'm looking into making changes to the program Camera Life


(http://fdcl.sf.net). I want to abstract the connection to the database


which is currently MYSQL and maybe implement another database, or just


leave it open for addition. If I get lucky and get the hang of this,


I'd also like to abstract calls to GD.



So firstly, is there a good solution to this problem? I've seen many


examples, but many of them are incomplete or simply academic. Also,


will I lose any functionality by doing it this way? I am currently


using a complicated SELECT statement with a CONCAT. Will this be


possible with the abstracted class?



Thanks for your consideration,


FD
