I've used peardb and adodb (thanks to postnuke).  Basic functionality is
roughly the same but adodb adds some things that probably don't really
belong in a DAL.  peardb, i think, is cleaner and certainly better and
more consistently documented, especially if you're used to getting your
info from the php manual.  peardb is much more similar to Perl::DBI, if
you're used to that.  There are functions in adodb for formatting
and displaying data as html which can be nice for those quick-n-dirty
projects.  But really, familiarity can be gained with either in an hour.
If i was to choose for a new project, i'd use pear db.  Actually, i
really liked the old phplib stuff...
