# PHP and ODBC

While looking for something else in the Moodle Forums, I found these links that refer to the underlying way Moodle connects to databases using <span class="caps">ODBC</span>.

“adodb just harnesses the underlying <span class="caps">PHP</span> functions for whatever type of connection you use, so it helps to be familiar with how they work.”
