There was a problem hiding this comment.
The documentation should still describe behaviour that was possible in PHP 7.
So it might make sense to move all of this to a section "Prior to PHP 8.5" for the flags?
It would also be nice to rewrite the sentences to get rid of personalization (using "you") as that's what our style guide says.

This is very ancient and implies a lot of things about PHP database support that hasn't been true in a quarter century. Also invert the guidance to use driver managers instead of linking against drivers directly.

Moved into a new section. Note that I didn't include Birdstep (dropped in 7.3) or Openlink (dropped seemingly in PHP 5 or older), nor was ODBCRouter ever documented (despite being dropped in 7.3 as well). I can add these if needed.

Mention --with-custom-odbc for user-defined drivers such as Sybase SQL Anywhere instead of listing it as a directly supported database, and drop the DIR argument of --with-iodbc, which takes none.
