php code to test pdo is available?

Question

I want to use PDO but I\'m not sure whether my hosting has set it up properly.

How can I test, in PHP, whether it is setup and working for MySQL?

Answer 1

For Windows servers, I've found the following useful for checking which PDO extensions are loaded from the command prompt:

php -m|findstr -i pdo_

On my system, that command nets me the following results:

pdo_mysql PDO_ODBC pdo_pgsql pdo_sqlite
