Which is crazy because I getenv it and echo it. But the following works: <?php putenv("INFORMIXSERVER=ibm65"); $conn_id = ifx_connect ("db@ibm65"); ?> So it seems that the environment variable INFORMIXSERVER is not being read correctly. Besides having INFORMIXSERVER set in my env, I also have set the /usr/local/lib/php.ini ifx.default_host=ibm65. Yet neither work. I have to putenv() the value explicitly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17047&edit=1
