In the context of developing a CMS, what are some considerations for creating global classes or toolkits to support different database standards or file systems in PHP?

When developing a CMS that needs to support different database standards or file systems in PHP, it's important to create global classes or toolkits that can abstract away the specific implementation details. This allows for easier maintenance and scalability as the CMS can easily switch between different database or file system implementations without needing to change a lot of code.

// Example of creating a Database class that abstracts away the specific database implementation

class Database {
    private $connection;

    public function __construct($dbType, $host, $username, $password, $dbName) {
        switch($dbType) {
            case 'mysql':
                $this->connection = new mysqli($host, $username, $password, $dbName);
                break;
            case 'postgresql':
                $this->connection = new PDO("pgsql:host=$host;dbname=$dbName", $username, $password);
                break;
            // Add support for other database types here
        }
    }

    public function query($sql) {
        // Execute query using the appropriate database connection
    }

    // Add other database operations here
}

// Example of creating a Filesystem class that abstracts away the specific file system implementation

class Filesystem {
    private $filesystem;

    public function __construct($fsType, $basePath) {
        switch($fsType) {
            case 'local':
                $this->filesystem = new LocalFilesystem($basePath);
                break;
            case 's3':
                $this->filesystem = new S3Filesystem($basePath);
                break;
            // Add support for other file system types here
        }
    }

    public function read($path) {
        // Read file using the appropriate file system implementation
    }

    // Add other file system operations here
}
