Whether you have aspirations of working on a Content Management System, an E-Commerce Site, a new and exciting web app, or an API you will eventually need to work with a Database. PHP and Databases work together through the use of PHP Data Objects or PDO for short.
Now that you know the basics of the PHP language it is time for us to start talking about how to integrate with databases. For this course we are going to use a sample database that is structured to fit the construct of a Movie rental store. This sample database is called the Sakila database.
