Using PHP can I use a JDBC or ODBC connection?

Question

I have a PHP application that I want to switch from MySQL to Cache DB. I was wondering if I could somehow use a JDBC or ODBC connection since Cache doesn\'t come with a PHP conn

Answer 1

PHP can use ODBC connections, either directly or through PDO (recommended) using PDO_ODBC.

PDO is recommended because it's easier to switch between databases if you use it... it's similar in concept to JDBC that way.
