setConnectionParameter

Syntax

From ADOdb Version 5.21.0

void setConnectionParameter(
    string $parameterName,
    mixed $parameterValue
    )

Description

The function setConnectionParameter() permits the setting of parameters before a database connection is established. This allows the specified parameters to be passed to the connect statement.

If used in a portable environment, parameters set in this manner should be predicated on the database provider, as unexpected results may occur if applied to the wrong database

Usage

/*
 * Connecting to DB2 Database
 */
 
$db->setConnectionParameter('autocommit',DB2_AUTOCOMMIT_ON);
$db->connect('database','user','password');
 
 
/*
* Connecting to a SQL Server database
*/
$db->setConnectionParameter('CharacterSet','UTF-8');
$db->connect('database','user','password');
