Yep, you need PDO. That should come standard with any self-respecting 
shared hosting environment.

You don't, however, need command line access to use Doctrine. There are 
PHP function calls equivalents for anything you would use the shell 
script to do (generate model classes, create, modify, and drop DBs, 
etc). The command line is easier, but it's not the only way. So lack of 
SSH access shouldn't be the deal breaker.
