Re: ODBC?

First make sure you have installed the MyODBC Driver Then make a odbc DSN to the MySQL database. Finally try something like this: odbc_connect($DSN_Name,$UserName, $Password) or die("Could not connect to the datasource"); Hope this helps...

Hi there everyone, I have always used MySQL with PHP without any problems using the standard MySQL connection functionality. Is it possible to connect to a MySQL DB via ODBC? If so, what would the PHP Connection string be? I am curious as my email server allows you to use external databases for users accounts and I figure this way I could write a PHP script to control users email accounts. Thanks everyone, sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, not used ODBC before so even though I know quite abit about PHP/MySQL, I know diddly about ODBC :-) Chris Payne
