- >> ADODB Library for PHP4
-
- (c) 2000-2004 John Lim (jlim@natsoft.com.my)
-
- Released under both BSD and GNU Lesser GPL library license.
- This means you can use it in proprietary products.
-
-
- >> Introduction
-
- PHP's database access functions are not standardised. This creates a
- need for a database class library to hide the differences between the
- different databases (encapsulate the differences) so we can easily
- switch databases.
-
- We currently support MySQL, Interbase, Sybase, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
- Microsoft SQL server, Foxpro ODBC, Access ODBC, Informix, DB2,
- Sybase SQL Anywhere, generic ODBC and Microsoft's ADO.
-
- We hope more people will contribute drivers to support other databases.
-
-
- >> Documentation and Examples
-
- Refer to the adodb/docs directory for full documentation and examples.
- There is also a tutorial tute.htm that contrasts ADODB code with
- mysql code.
-

-
- Adodb-session.php is the PHP4 session handling code.
