Php Data Objects

Slide 1:PHP Data Objects A tour of new features

Slide 2:Introduction  PHP Data Objects, (PDO) is a PHP5 extension that defines a lightweight DBMS connection abstraction library (sometimes called data access abstraction library).  PDO provides a data-access abstraction layer, which means that, regardless of which database you're using, you use the same functions to issue queries and fetch data.  This means that PDO defines a unified interface for creating and maintaining database connections, issuing queries, quoting parameters, traversing result sets, dealing with prepared statements, and error handling.  PDO ships with PHP 5.1, and is available as a PECL extension for PHP 5.0; PDO requires the new OO features in the core of PHP 5, and so will not run with earlier versions of PHP.
