    <p>Actually, a simple, sweet and short: Yes, not necessary any longer.</p> <p>Let's review the code not that we have lost something:</p> <ul> <li><p><code>__construct</code> - The constructor merely contained all the configuration. PDO has a much easier concept here, a connection string containing the most information:</p> <blockquote> <pre><code> mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=people;charset=UTF-8 </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>Also PDO provides the constructor for use ready-made, so double not necessary.</p></li> <li><p><code>connect</code> - The connection function is not necessary any longer as well. This is done by instantiating PDO already. You can look for exceptions, the PHP manual has an example <a href="http://php.net/pdo.construct#example-966" rel="nofollow noreferrer">on it's constructor page</a>.</p></li> <li><p><code>selectDb</code> - This complicated function is not needed any longer as well. Wow, the third function we can just drop because of the PDO connection string. Much power with so less characters. Cheers!</p></li> <li><p><code>__destruct</code> - The destructor. Let's be fair: MySQL did not need this as well. However with PDO we get it for free - without writing a single line of code.</p></li> </ul> <p>Looks good! You managed to migrate from that obscure database class to PDO by removing outdated code! Congratulations:</p> <pre><code>$db = new PDO('mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=people;charset=UTF-8', 'root', 'pass'); </code></pre> <p>If you now think, what about if I want to have database class on my own? Well you can do that, because you can extend from PDO (yes that works!):</p> <pre><code>class DB extends PDO { ... my super-new-shiny-code } </code></pre> <p>Why you might want to do that? No idea, but maybe it's more fluent for your code. If you're looking for a better code-example, I have one at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/10622205/367456">PHP/MySQL Table with Hyperlinks</a>.</p>

    2. CONo, that is just invalid PHP code. But maybe you want to describe what you *want* to do and I can give you the one or other hint.

    3. COI sometimes change pass in database for security reason so this code should check if the connection is valid and in false case return message :) or is that all really do the PDO code itself?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
