ADOdb
ADOdb is a database abstraction library for PHP, originally based on the same concept as Microsoft's ActiveX Data Objects. It allows developers to write applications in a consistent way regardless of the underlying database system storing the information. The advantage is that the database system can be changed without re-writing every call to it in the application.

- Session management tools: allows storing session data in a database table or as encrypted data
gollark: It's like JSON, but binary (not ASCII-only), theoretically easier to parse, more compact and more extensible.
gollark: Compact Binary Object Representation.
gollark: The new protocol is CBOR-based so I changed it.
gollark: ```local CBOR_path = _G.skynet_CBOR_path or "cbor.lua"local a=http.get"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osmarks/skynet/master/cbor.lua"local b=fs.open(CBOR_path,"w")b.write(a.readAll())a.close()b.close()local CBOR = dofile(CBOR_path)```
gollark: Fixed it.
