I won't. Thanks. Haven't started doing that yet.

Only reason I'm holding to using bind variables rather than dynamically
building a statement is because those bind variables have a reason, and
the only reason I need an associative array back from query results
rather than named variables to be bound to is that I'm using the same
database backend and the table structure varies between session tables
on the different virtual domains.

In other words, it's not force it to be like Perl, it's just do the
things I take for granted in Perl, that I often find people not
bothering with in PHP, but my sites internals are largely builtaround
those idioms existing.
