Web Development and Design White Papers

Programming PHP: Databases

Overview PHP has support for over 20 databases, including the most popular commercial and open source varieties. Relational database systems such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle are the backbone of most modern dynamic web sites. In these are stored shopping-cart information, purchase histories, product reviews, user information, credit-card numbers, and sometimes even web pages themselves. This paper covers how to access databases from PHP. The paper focuses on the PEAR DB system, which lets the user use the same functions to access any database, rather than on the myriad database-specific extensions.
