PDO drivers are dynamically loadable and may be developed independently from the core, but still accessed using the same API. PHP alpha 0.1.1 2004-05-21 Note that PDO on its own is useless. You need to install a PDO database driver to make use of it, check http://pecl.php.net for a list of available PDO drivers. It is highly recommended that you update to the latest PHP 5 snapshot before using PDO. You can obtain it from http://snaps.php.net. If you are running on Windows, you should download: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip http://snaps.php.net/win32/PECL_5_0/php_pdo.dll You can find additional PDO drivers at: http://snaps.php.net/win32/PECL_5_0/
