Zebra_Database version 2.1 now available

Zebra_Database it is an advanced, compact (one-file only), lightweight, object-oriented MySQL database wrapper built upon PHP’s MySQL extension. It provides methods for interacting with MySQL databases that are more intuitive and fun to use than PHP’s default ones.

The most important change in version 2.1 is that support for transactions has been added. Two new methods have also been added: "insert_bulk", which allows inserting multiple values into a table using a single query and "insert_update", which will create INSERT statements with ON DUPLICATE UPDATE. Some bugs in the JavaScript code of the debug console were also fixed and there are also some corrections to the documentation.

Zebra_Pagination version 1.0.1 now available

Zebra_Pagination is a generic pagination class that automatically generates navigation links given the total number of items and the number of items per page.

This is a *generic* pagination class, meaning that it does not display any records! It is up to developer to fetch the actual data and displaying it based on the information returned by this class. The advantage is that it can be used to paginate over records coming from any source (arrays, database, etc).

In version 1.0.1 the entire code was audited and improved and most of the method names, method arguments and global properties were changed breaking compatibility with previous versions; in addition, the generated output is cleaner and more complete examples were added.
