Re: Re: ODBC?

And if you are using ODBC from *nix, you will want to configure it --with-iodbc as per the HOWTO at www.iodbc.org. Best regards, Andrew Hill Director of Technology Evangelism OpenLink Software - http://www.openlinksw.com On Tuesday, September 24, 2002, at 10:34 AM, Ever Lopez wrote:

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 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
