Connecting to Trello databases from PHP

Below is a PHP connection string and a code sample and that show you how to connect to a database using the standard PHP functions. Adhering to standardized SQL will prove useful if you decide to use a different databases for your PHP app in the future, e.g. migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL or MS SQL.

These functions also work for accessing data in cloud applications from PHP, such as Mailchimp, Salesforce, Dynamics 365, BigCommerce, or QuickBooks Online.

Need to connect PHP to a database? ODBC is an API that allows you to connect to a data source, such as PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB or SQL Server, using standard PHP functions and Devart ODBC Drivers. You can use PHP with databases via a connector to deliver HTML to a web browser that requests a resource.

To connect to a database and retrieve data using the PHP progamming language, you only need a few functions:

odbc_exec() function to execute an SQL statement;
odbc_fetch_row() function to return records from the result set;
odbc_result() function to read fields from a record;
finally, odbc_close() function is used to close an ODBC connection.

ODBC database connection in PHP with
odbc_connect() function

01.The PHP odbc_connect() function is used to connect to an ODBC data source.

\n$user = "myusername";
$password = "mypassword";
$ODBCConnection = odbc_connect("DRIVER={Devart ODBC Driver for SQLite};Direct=True;Database=mydatabase", $user, $password);

02.The odbc_exec() function is used to execute an SQL statement.

\n$SQLQuery = "SELECT * FROM autotest.dept";
$RecordSet = odbc_exec($ODBCConnection, $SQLQuery);

03.The odbc_fetch_row() function is used to return records from the result set.

\nwhile (odbc_fetch_row($RecordSet)) {
    $result = odbc_result_all($RecordSet, "border=1");
}
odbc_close($ODBCConnection);

Advantages of Connectivity to Trello from PHP via ODBC Driver

Secure Connection

Every operation with Trello becomes significantly faster using such capabilities of our driver as local data caching, connection pooling, and much more.

Working with PHP using Multiple Functions

Using PHP, you can create tables, add data, select, delete, sort, edit, combine data from several database tables, and find unique values quickly and easily.

ODBC Conformance

The driver fully supports the ODBC interface, its data types, and functions. It offers advanced connection string parameters and allows any ODBC-compliant desktop or web application to connect to Trello from PHP on various platforms.

Simple SQL Querying on PHP Files

PHP processes SQL through its SQL dialect. Using ODBC connection, it is simple to execute different SQL queries to retrieve entire tables or specific columns from Excel, filter data, format data, numbers, etc.

Cost-Effective Deployment

Installing the driver is easy with the standalone installation file. There is no need in deploying and configuring any additional software which results in a reduction in deployment costs.

Sharing Your Data with PHP

You can share your data with other users in PHP quickly and easily. Upload your PHP data to the SharePoint lists so that it can be available for you and others to use to create reports, data models, dashboards, etc.
