使用PDO操作数据库的好处

PDO一是PHP数据对象（PHP Data Object）的缩写。

并不能使用PDO扩展本身执行任何数据库操作，必须使用一个database-specific PDO driver（针对特定数据库的PDO驱动）访问数据库服务器。
PDO并不提供数据库抽象，它并不会重写SQL或提供数据库本身缺失的功能，如果你需要这种功能，你需要使用一个更加成熟的抽象层。
PDO需要PHP5核心OO特性的支持，所以它无法运行于之前的PHP版本。

PDO有非常多的操作却是MySQL扩展库所不具备的：

1:PDO真正的以底层实现的统一接口数库操作接口，不管后端使用的是何种数据库，如果代码封装好了以后，应用层调用基本上差不多的，当后端数据库更换了以后，应用层代码基本不用修改.

2:PDO支持更高级的DB特性操作，如：存储过程的调度等,mysql原生库是不支持的.

3:PDO是PHP官方的PECL库，兼容性稳定性必然要高于MySQL Extension,可以直接使用 pecl upgrade pdo 命令升级.

4:PDO可以防止SQL注入，确保数据库更加安全

预处理语句
使用语句预处理将帮助你免于SQL注入攻击。

一条预处理语句是一条预编译的 SQL 语句，它可以使用多次，每次只需将数据传至服务器。其额外优势在于可以对使用占位符的数据进行安全处理，防止SQL注入攻击。

5.根据PHP官方计划，PHP6正式到来之时，数据库链接方式统一为PDO。但是总有一小撮顽固分子，趁PHP官方还没正式统一时，还用老式的MYSQL驱动链接数据库。即使现在有部分程序改用Mysqli/pdo，只要没用到预编译，均和老式的Mysql驱动没多大区别。在此，我就不点评国内的PHP生态环境了。
回归主题，为什么说PHP必须要用PDO？除了官方要求之外，我认为作为PHP程序员，只要你目前是做开发的话，那么请选择用PDO的程序/框架！PDO除了安全和万金油式数据库链接，还有一点是我目前觉得非常好用的！下面我就用我最近的切身体会来说。
业务环境：公司某老架构，数据库设计的人员太菜了，设计过程完全没有按照数据库范式进行。各种表中使用大量的序列化形式保存（补充：json同理）。
出现问题：销售的客服反馈，网站某用户在编辑地址时，Mysql报错了。
问题猜想：不用说了。肯定是引号，反斜杠引起序列化入库不正常。

6.安装配置及测试
在windows下进行有关pdo测试的时候，php.ini中的extension_dir的值要填为pdo*.dll的路径，否则无法运行pdo的相关程序。
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "E:wwwphp5ext"
