FairCom SQL for PHP - Quick Start Guide

Note: FairCom provides several ways for accessing the FairCom Database Engine from PHP:

  • A native PHP API for interfacing with PHP 5.x.x. It does not support later versions of PHP.
  • FairCom DB ODBC for interfacing with any version of PHP.
  • A PHP PDO (PHP Data Object) driver for supporting PHP 7 and later with the PDO extension.
    This is the preferred way to access PHP. See FairCom DB PHP PDO ReadMe.

These are all discussed in the PHP Developer's Guide.
