PDO::setAttribute – Setting Attributes for Database Handles

The PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension provides the bool PDO::setAttribute(int $attribute, mixed $value) method, which allows developers to set various attributes on a database handle.

This method does not take any additional parameters beyond the attribute identifier and its corresponding value, and it returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Several generic attributes are available, while specific drivers may support additional, driver‑specific attributes.
