Using PHP can I use a JDBC or ODBC connection?

Question

I have a PHP application that I want to switch from MySQL to Cache DB. I was wondering if I could somehow use a JDBC or ODBC connection since Cache doesn't come with a PHP connection?

Thanks

Probably not the most efficient method, but take a look at the PHP-Java Bridge http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/ or http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/book.java.php

Answer 3

PHP can use ODBC connections, either directly or through PDO (recommended) using PDO_ODBC.

PDO is recommended because it's easier to switch between databases if you use it... it's similar in concept to JDBC that way.
