Answer 1

I think you need a bit more information than you supplied: What kind of data structures would you like to use for your records and column definitions? It seems like this is a rather specialized class that would require customization for your specific use case.

I have a PHP class that I wrote that basically does what you are looking for, but relying on other classes that we use in our system. If you can supply the types of data structures you want to use it with I can check if it will work for you and send it over.
