In this article I will be explaining php basic PDO mysql connection and queries example
PDO stands for PHP Data Objects, it provides Multipledatabase access. by multiple database access it means that if we change our database from MySql to MS Access or Sqlite, we just need to make small change in database connection line, all other coding will work perfectly for any kind of database with same structure of database tables.
every thing has its advantages and disadvantages, some major advantages of PDO are

• Multiple RDBMS
• Parameters binding which looks clean and prevents sql injection
• Its faster then mysql or mysqli

few disadvantages are

• Do not have enough features as mysqli has like multiple queries
• Only OOP implementation, no procedural

we should use PDO if having plan to change RDBMS in futues, we can use PDO for

• PHP to MS Sql
• PHP to MS Access
• PHP to Oracle
• PHP to Sybase
• PHP to Sqlite
• PHP to Mysql
• PHP to any database with out changing queries or syntax
