The PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension defines a lightweight, consistent interface for accessing databases in PHP. Each database driver that implements the PDO interface can expose database-specific features as regular extension functions.


Supported databases:

<?php
$dbh 
= new PDO('odbc:sample''db2inst1''ibmdb2');

$cnt $dbh->exec("DELETE FROM fruit WHERE colour = 'red'");

echo 
"Deleted $cnt rows.";
?>
