How to determine if PDO enabled in PHP


Is there a PHP command I can use to determine if PDO is enabled or disabled?



I know I an manually run phpinfo() and eyeball it, but I have a script I run a various servers that displays selected PHP configuration settings for the server.



So I am looking to see if there is a command I can use.



Thanks.

  1. Check if the class exists:

    if (class_exists('PDO'))

  2. The proper way of determining that will be using the extension_loaded function:-

    if ( extension_loaded('pdo') ) {
    .......
    }


    And you might also want to check for the database-specific PDO driver using:-

    if ( extension_loaded('pdo_<database type here>') ) {
    .......
    }

  3. You have two options:

    if (extension_loaded('pdo')) { /* ... */ }


    Or (this one is not 100% reliable since it can be implemented in user-land classes):

    if (class_exists('PDO', false)) { /* ... */ }


    Personally, I prefer the first option.

  4. How about

    if (in_array('pdo', get_loaded_extensions())) {
    ... pdo is there ...
    }

  5. if (!defined('PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME')) {
    echo 'PDO unavailable';
    }
    elseif (defined('PDO::ATTR_DRIVER_NAME')) {
    echo 'PDO available';
    }


    I hope this works

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
