Pdo ( Portable Data Object ) needs to be installed if it is not done before. For windows platform goto control panel > Add remove program ( or Programs and features ) > Select your PHP installation and click Change. If you are installing PHP fresh then in the setup wizard you can select PDO from Extensions link.
Based on the database type you can enable or disable PDO drivers. Note that once you have done this process then automatically php.ini file gets edited and you may have to reboot your system. Note that PDO drivers are in your extension directory and in php.ini file this it to be enabled.
extension=php_pdo.dll
But in PHP 5.3 and above these dll are not required.
After installing pdo you can check your phpinfo function and ensure that PDO support is enabled.
