Does anyone know the solution to this? It seems to be a common enough thing to do, but I've looked around and can't find an obvious way to resolve it. Basically, recently we decided to have our front-end handled by PHP scripts on Unix, and the databases themselves on NT on our SQL server. I've already been using PHP for a while on msql and MySQL, so I figured it was going to be pretty much easy. Thing is, $connection = odbc_connect("DSN=<machine name>","<userid>","<passwd>") doesn't return anything; name>it doesn't even return 0. The script reaches that and just dies an unfortunate death. Even or die (...) won't return anything helpful. After looking around on the FAQs and tutorials, I assume my problem is the lack of ODBC drivers for Solaris; if it's not, and someone can propose a solution, please let me know. Otherwise, I've been looking around for some Solaris drivers but all I can find is Sybase's, and there seems to be some problem with their ftp site in the section I need. Thanks for any replies. /------------------------------------------------------------- | John Margaritsanakis, Programmer/Analyst | Istos Web Publishing Solutions and Services Agency |------------------------------------------------------------- | Crime doesn't pay as well as politics. |------------------------------------------------------------- | "And when we meet again my hand shall hold a Silmaril | from the Iron Crown; for you have not looked the last | upon Beren son of Barahir."
