dba_handlers() list all the handlers supported by this extension.

Parameters

full_info: Turns on/off full information display in the result. The default is FALSE.

Examples

Example 1. dba_handlers() Example


<?php

echo "Available DBA handlers:\n";
foreach (dba_handlers(true) as $handler_name => $handler_version) {
  // clean the versions
  $handler_version = str_replace('$', '', $handler_version);
  echo " - $handler_name: $handler_version\n";
}

?>
