pdo-pglite

pdo-pglite

pdo-pglite is the PostgreSQL-compatible PDO driver extension used by php-wasm via @electric-sql/pglite.

This package mainly exists so custom php-wasm builds can compile in the pdo_pglite extension. It does not expose a separate JavaScript entrypoint from this folder. At runtime, support is activated by passing a PGlite constructor into the php-wasm runtime.

Requirements

pdo_pglite requires PHP 8.1 or newer.

Install

npm install php-wasm pdo-pglite @electric-sql/pglite

Usage

import { PhpWeb } from 'php-wasm/PhpWeb.mjs';
import { PGlite } from '@electric-sql/pglite';

const php = new PhpWeb({
  version: '8.4',
  PGlite,
});

await php.run(`<?php
  $pdo = new PDO('pgsql:idb-storage');
  var_dump($pdo instanceof PDO);
`);

Custom Builds

Enable WITH_PDO_PGLITE=1 in .php-wasm-rc.

Build Options

• WITH_PDO_PGLITE: defaults to 1. Set it to 0 if you want to exclude the extension from a custom build.
• PDO_PGLITE_DEV_PATH: optional local source checkout to use instead of cloning the upstream pdo-pglite repository during the build.
