<h3>ADOdb Library for PHP</h3>
<p>ADOdb is a suite of database libraries that allow you to connect to multiple
databases in a portable manner. Download from <a href=http://adodb.sourceforge.net/>http://adodb.sourceforge.net/</a>.
<ul><li>The ADOdb documentation has moved to <a href=docs-adodb.htm>docs-adodb.htm</a>
This allows you to query, update and insert records using a portable API.
<p><li>The ADOdb data dictionary docs are at <a href=docs-datadict.htm>docs-datadict.htm</a>.
This allows you to create database tables and indexes in a portable manner.
<p><li>The ADOdb database performance monitoring docs are at <a href=docs-perf.htm>docs-perf.htm</a>.
This allows you to perform health checks, tune and monitor your database.
<p><li>The ADOdb database-backed session docs are at <a href=docs-session.htm>docs-session.htm</a>.
</ul>
<p>
<h3>Installation</h3>
Make sure you are running PHP5 or later. For PHP 4 or earlier, you need to use adodb 4.9. Unpack all the files into a directory accessible by your webserver.
<p>
To test, try modifying some of the tutorial examples. Make sure you customize the connection settings correctly. You can debug using:
<pre>
<?php
include('adodb/adodb.inc.php');
$db = <b>ADONewConnection</b>($driver); # eg. 'mysql' or 'oci8'
$db->debug = true;
$db-><b>Connect</b>($server, $user, $password, $database);
$rs = $db-><b>Execute</b>('select * from some_small_table');
print "<pre>";
print_r($rs-><b>GetRows</b>());
print "</pre>";
?>
</pre>
