Re: ibm db2 and php

Hi There are few things to consider 1. I use php4 (last version) and I compile it --with-ibm-db2 option (before you must set LDFLAGS). 2. I put my odbcinst.ini and odbc.ini in /etc directory, since you will be connecting to system wide DSN's anyway.... 3. My .odbc.ini file is: [sample] Description = Test to DB2 Driver = DB2 and my odbcinst..ini file is: [ODBC] Trace = Yes Trace File = /tmp/sql_trace.log [DB2] Description = DB2 driver Driver = /usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/lib/libdb2.so FileUsage = 1 DontDLClose = 1 4. make sure you have DB@INSTANCE variable set up....the best thing to do is to execute "#. /home/db2inst1/sqllib/db2prifile" or put the equivalent into /etc/profile so evryone will be able to use it.... 6. Your odbcinst.ini driver must be libdb2.so: it's a shared lib; db2.o comes on AIX flavor..... I hope this helps....
