It's goal is to provide a general and consistent way for accessing a database from within a php page/script.
DAL has some general methods that can be used to access the database from within php code. The implementation details (like how to connect to the database) are taken care of by drivers which extend DAL.
There are 2 versions of DAL. The stable version, which contains less features but is stable and can be used within production enviroments. And the development version, which contains all the latest features but also unkown bugs, glitches and so on.
