Re: IBM DB/2 + PHP4

I have a similar question, so even if you don't have an ODBC driver on your box (I'm in linux) you can still use the odbc functions to talk to a db2 database if you supply the config paramater? just making sure, it seems kinda hackish, you might want to document this somewhere :P Ben Zeigler "Jeff Warrington" To: php-db@lists.php.net <jaydub@bossa cc: nova.com> Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] IBM DB/2 + PHP4 07/19/00 11:36 AM In article <Pine.LNX.3.96.1000705111335.12660A-100000@majikian.hq.netmill.fi>, jakohvak@netmill.fi (Jari Kohvakka) wrote: you need to compile php with support for IBM db2 specifically. You will have to obtain the DB2 client support and install on your web server. On Linux, this is installed in /usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/. When you configure PHP for compilation, pass this paramter: --with-ibm-db2=/usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/ (or whatever path). you should then be able to use the odbc_* functions just fine.
