dba_handlers — List all the handlers available

### Description

dba_handlers() list all the handlers supported by this extension.

### Parameters

`full_info`

  Turns on/off full information display in the result. The default is `FALSE`.

### Return Values

Returns an array of database handlers. If `full_info` is set to `TRUE`, the array will be associative with the handlers names as keys, and their version information as value. Otherwise, the result will be an indexed array of handlers names.

### Examples

Example#1 dba_handlers() Example

`<?php
echo "Available DBA handlers:\n";
foreach (dba_handlers(true) as $handler_name => $handler_version) {
// clean the versions
$handler_version = str_replace('$', '', $handler_version);
echo " - $handler_name: $handler_version\n";
}
?>`

The above example will output something similar to:
