If u use the canonical syntax to retrieve table names from a Microsoft Access ODBC connection on windows 2K (dunno if this happen with previous versions) using ZEND PHP 4.0.6 engine, you will see your page to fall in a deep endless loop without waking up. The workaround, that is also a good coding practice, is to close all you left open: so use odbc_close_all() and your sleepy page turn to wake up without a prob! Here it is my piece of code to accomplish the whole job: <script language="php"> // // ODBC database table names retrieve with odbc_tables() // error_reporting (E_ALL); $the_connection="test"; $ODBCConn=odbc_connect($the_connection, "", "",SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC) or die("DSN error!"); $i=0; $recordset=odbc_tables($ODBCConn); while(odbc_fetch_row($recordset)) { // In MSAccess the first 5 tables are used by the application and we don't care of them if (++$i <= 5) echo ":: SYSTEM TABLE :: "; echo odbc_result($recordset, "TABLE_NAME")."<br>\n"; } flush(); // this is merely optional odbc_close_all(); // don't forget this!!! </script> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14216&edit=1
