This book is for PHP developers who need to use PHP Data Objects (PDO)

for data abstraction. Covering an overview of PDO, getting started,

error handling, prepared statements, handling rowsets, advanced uses,

and use in an MVC application, it first describes the topic, then gives

step-by-step instructions for a particular example. A final appendix

covers the object-oriented features of PHP 5. Readers should be familiar

with PHP and aware of the basics of data abstraction. Lighter, faster,

more powerful than existing data abstraction interfaces, PDO is an

open-source query abstraction layer for accessing databases and

manipulating returned records that is used with a database-specific PDO

driver to access a particular database. It has the same role as classic

database abstraction layers such as ODBC and JDBC. 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.
