I understand every part of the DSN except the 'dbsyntax'... When would this be different from the 'phptype'? Thanks!

EDIT: Just noticed one other part I don't understand: the GET data. Why is "option=8&another=true" included?

I only know one example: Firebird and Interbase; Firebird was derived from Interbase. 'phptype' is in both cases 'ibase', while 'dbsyntax' can be switched to 'firebird'.

It allows you to specify some options, e.g. the charset.

Examples for these both parts of the DSN syntax can be found here:

What keys and values are expected in the query string?

See Table 37-1 on the mentioned manual page, but the options are very driver specific. You'll have to look into the source files (MDB2/Driver/[DBMS].php) for a complete list.
