Introduction


In this chapter, we will cover a series of database connectivity recipes that take advantage of the PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension. Common programming problems such as Structured Query Language (SQL) generation, pagination, and tying objects to database tables, will be addressed. Finally, at the end, we will present code that processes secondary lookups in the form of embedded anonymous functions, and using jQuery DataTables to make AJAX requests.
