snivek Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I often see people refer to a library? What is it? How is it different than a class and how would you use/implement it? Sorry if this is an answer easily found somewhere. I have looked for days but could not find anyting.

NArc0t1c Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I library is like an addon, like you get it to be able to run certain functions. like the gd library, rar, cURl and much more. It's usually made in c. A class is much different, it's made with php.

snivek Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 What about libraries written in php? I commonly have seen threads or blogs where people refer to a library they use to abstract their database api. Any insight into libraries being used in that way?
