From ADOdb Version 5.21.0 void setConnectionParameter( string $parameterName, mixed $parameterValue )
The function setConnectionParameter()
permits the setting of parameters before a database connection is established. This allows the specified parameters to be passed to the connect
statement.
If used in a portable environment, parameters set in this manner should be predicated on the database provider, as unexpected results may occur if applied to the wrong database
/* * Connecting to DB2 Database */ $db->setConnectionParameter('autocommit',DB2_AUTOCOMMIT_ON); $db->connect('database','user','password'); /* * Connecting to a SQL Server database */ $db->setConnectionParameter('CharacterSet','UTF-8'); $db->connect('database','user','password');
