You don't need the PHP/Java Bridge if all you want is to access databases through PHP PDO.

However, if you have a PDO library written in pure Java, you can access this library through the PHP/Java Bridge.

Just copy the Java .jar file which exports the PDO API (quercus.jar probably) to your WEB-INF/lib and use the class as usual:

 $pdo = new java("com.caucho.xxx.pdo", "java:comp/env/jdbc/TestDB");

There's a test in the tests.php5 folder which accesses quercus from PHP through the PHP/Java Bridge, so this should work.


However, why do you want to use PHP PDO if you can use the pure Java JDBC API?
