A new MaxDB PHP extension has been released! Compared to the previous version that worked over php's odbc extension, the new driver offers good benefits. Firstly, the extension supports the MaxDB native interface, and thus delivers significantly better performance. Secondly the extension offers a broader feature set (which is mostly compatible to PHP's mysql and mysqli extensions) compared to the earlier driver's limited ODBC functionality.
The new driver enables an easy migration of existing PHP application or solutions to MaxDB. This gives you the benefits to take advantage of the MaxDB broad feature set, scalability, perfomance and ease of use, in your PHP solution.
This first release is supporting both PHP4 and PHP5. A version supporting PHP5's new object oriented features is well under way, and will be released in a couple of months. The PHP extension comes with full standard documentation.
Today, the new PHP extention is available from our download section. In the coming weeks, the MaxDB client interface connecting to PHP will be adapted with the MySQL FLOSS license exception, and then you will be allowed to combine MaxDB and PHP with a broad range of other open source licenses. As the FLOSS exception is adapted, the new PHP extension will be submitted to PHP's Pecl repository for free distribution under the PHP License 3.0. Also the documentation and the sources will then be checked into PHP's cvs repository.
