ADOdb w/MySQL

A few years back I did a little piece using PHP/MySQL (just before the days
of register globals being turned off).

I am aware of mysql escape string but understand that ADOdb is the preferred
solution nowadays.

How can I test if a host supports ADOdb for MySQL? I can't see anything in
phpinfo and I am wary of picking up outdated information from Google. (a bit
like still finding PHP scripts that depend on register globals being ON).


Thanks in advance.

You are mistaken. There is still no "preferred solution". There are
DB abstraction layers, there are development frameworks, there's the
new MySQLi extension, and there are those who still resist DB
abstraction as being unduly resource-intensive.
