Re: PHP vs. 2 database softwares

Well, I did that. I typed in "./configure --with-iodbc=/usr/local/odbcsdk --with-ibm-db2=/usr/lp/db2_06_0 1" and it can compile without a problem. However, I checked the result of the configure and it didn't display the iodbc for some reason. So, that's why the iodbc was not compiled with PHP. I did have hte environment variable specified correctly. I tried to test it to see if it work if I do the configure command without hte ibm db2 option and it can see the iodbc. So, when I put the iodbc option back in, it can not see the iodbc. Why is that? I do not know?
