PDO_4D is a driver that implements the
<a href="intro.pdo.php" class="link">PHP Data Objects (PDO)</a> interface
to enable access from PHP to 4D databases.
</p>
<p class="para">
4D is an integrated platform that speeds and simplifies the development
and deployment of business applications, used in over 70 countries, by
a community of thousands of developers and vertical solution providers,
with millions of end-users worldwide.
</p>
<p class="para">
By offering a suite of integrated tools such as an ANSI SQL relational
and transactional database, a graphical development environment, a
fourth-generation language with over 1000 high-level commands, a
built-in HTTP server, application server, etc., 4D facilitates the
creation and maintenance of applications from one to hundreds of
simultaneous users, whether on Windows, Mac or from any Web client.
</p>
<p class="para">
4D is also an open platform, offering a complete API for plug-in
creation, including various connectors that allow it to act as a
back-end or front-end for many environments (Oracle via OCI, SOAP
client or server, Flex data source, all ODBC databases, XML over
HTTP, etc.)
</p>
<p class="para">
In addition to the ability to interact with 4D applications across
Web Services, 4D databases can now be directly accessed using the
PDO_4D driver.
</p>
<p class="para">
More details about the 4D development environment on <a href="http://www.4d.fr/" class="link external">» http://www.4d.fr/</a>.
</p>
<p class="para">
PDO_4D has been developed to work on Windows (Vista),
Mac OS X (10.5) and Linux (Debian-tested). It is known to work with
4D versions 11.4 and up, for Mac OS X and Windows. Older
plat-forms may work, but are unsupported.
