Questions tagged [php]

PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development. Questions about programming in PHP are off-topic and should be asked on Stack Overflow.

PHP also includes great database support for PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server (API ref), Oracle, IBM DB2 & Cloudscape, Apache Derby and even ODBC. All modern versions of PHP include PDO, a built-in data-access abstraction library with comprehensive connectivity options.
