PDOQuery is my new database abstraction library. It’s modeled to a limited extent after jQuery syntax, though obviously not all the same kinds of functionality apply, and the base language is different. The query language is built in a similar fashion, only PDOQuery selects and manipulates a database instead of DOM elements. Query modifications are built to return a PDOQuery object, just like jQuery, so you can link modifications together or apply a new selector to an existing object. The library takes full advantage of PHP to provide powerful object integration, making it extremely simple (and mostly automatic) to create a PHP class that directly represents a database table row. View the unfinished project website at pdoquery.com, and play with a selector demo here.
