Base it on other large project's would be a good start. Most people have
a dbinclude file, which presents a common class name, for example;

mysql.php:

class db {
 ...
  function db() {
    $this->init();
  }
}

Using the same method names within each database access file makes it
rather simple to alter the data provider.

I don't know personally but I hear that the communication over head
normally brings up the total cost of using off shore to something
similar to that of doing it in shore.
