It's just a matter of separating the concerns of your code. Doesn't
really require special logic. For example, say you need to retrieve a
article from the database, instead of running the query in the
application code itself, call a function to do it:
$message = GetMessageById($id);
or
$message = GetMessageByTitle($title);
or
$messages = GetMessagesByDate($start, $end);
If you want to get fancy, use a class factory
$messages = $message_factory->Load($criteria, $offset, $length);
There are many ways to do this. The bottomline is to isolate the data
save/retrieval code, so that you can swap in a different mechanism by
simply including a different file.
