Note Submitter: enclaved ---- I must say Chris C. is correct, yet sadly downvoted. It is irrelevant if semicolons are converted to spaces in the DSN string. The entire point of PDO is expressed in the first word of the acronym: "Portable"; it provides a uniform way of accessing databases of various flavors, and since a semicolon is its standard DSN delimiter, it SHOULD be used (at miniscule overhead if taking conversion into account, mind you) to facilitate uniformity and potentially ease portability.
