You need the SQLSRV driver to get the PDO version. &nbsp;All PDO drivers require a database specific driver to go with the main PDO extension. &nbsp;extension=php_sqlsrv.dll and/or extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv.dll<br><a href="https://github.com/microsoft/msphpsql" rel="ugc">https://github.com/microsoft/msphpsql</a>

I am converting a program from PHP 5.6 to use PHP 7.4. And I am confused about  PDO.
I thought in using PHP 7.4, I would need to change all of my SQL statements to use PDO syntax.
But I am finding out, that doesn't seem to be the case. I understand PDO is probably the better
approach of the two.
Could someone be as so kind to clarify for me ??
Thank you in advance.

PHP 7.4 and using PDO instead of sqlsrv

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
