I have tested this and found that the "dbname" field is optional. Which is a good thing if you must first create the db.
After creating a db be sure to exec a "use dbname;" command, or else use fully specified table references.
PDO_MYSQL DSN
(PECL PDO_MYSQL >= 0.1.0)
PDO_MYSQL DSN — Connecting to MySQL databases
说明
The PDO_MYSQL Data Source Name (DSN) is composed of the following elements:
- DSN prefix
-
The DSN prefix is
mysql:. -
host -
The hostname on which the database server resides.
-
port -
The port number where the database server is listening.
-
dbname -
The name of the database.
-
unix_socket -
The MySQL Unix socket (shouldn't be used with
hostorport). -
charset -
The character set. See the character set concepts documentation for more information.
示例
示例 #1 PDO_MYSQL DSN examples
The following example shows a PDO_MYSQL DSN for connecting to MySQL databases:
mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb
mysql:host=localhost;port=3307;dbname=testdb mysql:unix_socket=/tmp/mysql.sock;dbname=testdb
注释
注意: Unix only:
When the host name is set to
"localhost", then the connection to the server is made through a domain socket. If PDO_MYSQL is compiled against libmysqlclient then the location of the socket file is at libmysqlclient's compiled in location. If PDO_MYSQL is compiled against mysqlnd a default socket can be set through the pdo_mysql.default_socket setting.

xwisdom made a mistake in his comment and got it backwards, correction below:
If you are having problems accessing a remote MYSQL database, the solution is to make sure that you add a white-space after "mysql:"
Change this...:
mysql:host=remote;
...to this:
mysql: host=remote;

The best way for me
$bdd= new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test_db;charset=UTF8", "username", "password");
$bdd->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING);

here is the example i prefer myself, in my opinion, this is almost always "the correct way" to do it:
<?php
$db = new \PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=testdb;charset=utf8mb4', 'username', 'password', array(
\PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => false,
\PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => \PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION
));

Wrappers may add support for extra parameters in the DSN, which are ignored by PDO itself, but facilitate more fine-grained connection setup.
F.e. localization (particularly LC_TIME) and timezones support.

It should be noted that unix_socket can also be used for named pipes under Windows.
<?php
$pipeName = 'my_awesome_pipe';
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:unix_socket='.$pipeName, $username, $password);
?>

$options = array(
PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => 'SET NAMES utf8',
);
SET NAMES utf8 is equivalent to
SET character_set_client = utf8;
SET character_set_results = utf8;
SET character_set_connection = utf8;
