Also digg's PDB, which is a simple PDO wrapper or something can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/digg/wiki/PDB

I think PEAR::MDB2 is what you are looking for.

The simplest and lightweight db class is

    foreach($result as $a){
            $a = (object) $a;
            echo $a->id.' '.$a->name.' '.$a->url.' '.$a->img.'</br>';
    }


    $result = $db->line("select * from `users` where id = '300' limit 1");
    echo $result['name']; 
    echo $result['surname']; 



    $name = $db->one("select name from `ilike_pics` where id = '300' limit 1");
    echo $name;
    ?>

I recommend to use PHP-MySQLi-Database-Class, which utilizes MySQLi and prepared statements (this means that you will be protected from SQL injection). Class is well documented.

PDO is a compiled extension of PHP5, so there's a small performance benefit as well.
