PECL/PDO_ODBC[1] is the precursor of ext/pdo_odbc[2] which is
bundled since PHP 5.1.  PECL/PDO_ODBC is unmaintained for more
than ten years now, so it is not surprising that it doesn't
compile with PHP 7.  ext/pdo_odbc is supposed to work, though.

I can understand that you're wary about upgrading (and I'm not
even sure that this particular bug has been fixed in the
meantime), but we can't provide support for unmaintained PECL
extensions here.  I suggest that you give the bundled ext/pdo_odbc
a try.  If you find bugs, please report them (if that has not
already been done[3]).  If you can't upgrade, I suggest to ask for
help with PECL/PDO_ODBC 1.0.1 in a more suitable support
channel[4] than this bug tracker.

Can you clarify possibly? The php module "pdo_odbc" (I believe) is just an interface
between PHP and the PDO_ODBC-1.0.1 package (the package is what includes odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini,
which is how the different databases connections are defined), isn't it? 

I'm a little apprehensive about seeking out a different option because of dependency nonsense
that has the potential to destroy any sort of progress.. Also our handles are defined in many many
scripts so going through and finding and changing each one would be a very time consuming process..

I wouldnt say Im "completely" opposed to changing, provided the information is available
to fix things that come up. but that is definitely not ideal. 

For example, when we started using this current setup there was a pretty major bug related to
varchar(max) (It would cause the length of a varchar max field to be reported as -1 and -1 would, in
one path, be interpreted as NULL. This null value would cause every other field that followed the
field in the select statement to be populated with NULL). This was huge pain to patch/fix.

I would like very much to avoid this type of problems going forward since solving them caused the
team a generous amount of stress...

Is there any particular reason why you don't use the pdo_odbc
extensions which is bundled with PHP?

Description:
------------
Im not sure this is where this belongs but I wasn't sure where to put it so Im posting it here,
please let me know if it needs to be somewhere else. We are in the process of upgrading from php
5.6.* to 7.1.* before the EOL early next month and ran into a snag. the snag seems to be due to
PHPNG changes https://wiki.php.net/phpng-upgrading) that were made
back in 7, but do not have solutions readily available.

Historicall we have used IUS to get compliant packages (Regular redhat repos are too old to be
compliant in the ways we need) and the we stimulate those with manually compiled packages. 

One of the packages that we have been maintaining "manually" (building with phpize,
configure, "make", & "make install") after each php update is "PDO_ODBC
v1.0.1 using unixODBC v2.3.2" (we use this driver manager heavily for DB2 on iSeries, mysql,
AND Sql Server database connections). 

The package has built pretty much without issue until the 5->7 upgrade process which has failed
and gotten a LOT of errors related to various Zend library methods I have been working my way
through with things I can fix, but I dont know how to fix the last few of them (most are related to
type mismatches such as "unary *", "zval", "struct zval *", . It seems
in 5.6 the Zend functions were alot different although some of the issues we fixed in the previous
version (changin SDWORD to SQLULEN, etc...)



Test script:
---------------
cd ./PDO_ODBC-1.0.1
phpize
./configure --with-pdo-odbc=unixODBC
make 

Expected result:
----------------
Successful Build
