RE: [PHP-DB] ODBC Linux and NT

Take a look at Easysoft's ODBC-ODBC Bridge 2000 at: http://www.easysoft.com/products/oob/main.phtml It does exactly what you need, and comes with a free single connection license. _____ ~ Richard Allsebrook ~ Applications Developer and Webmaster Easysoft Limited, No3 The Embankment, Leeds, LS1 4BJ http://www.easysoft.com <http://www.easysoft.com> - http://www.cinema.com <http://www.cinema.com> "A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history - with the possible exceptions of handguns and tequila." _____ -----Original Message----- From: Damian Sobieralski [mailto:dsobiera@smc.cc.mi.us] Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2000 5:07 PM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] ODBC Linux and NT Hi, I am new to the listserv and PHP (2 weeks and going) and have a situation where I would like some advice. We currently have our database sitting on an HP3000 running MPE. We have a nifty ODBC way to get to the data. I have throughly enjoyed using PHP and it's ODBC method for fetching data off the HP via this driver for web presentation. However, this current setup has PHP, apache and PHP all on the same box (NT). Our webservers are Linux ones and I was wondering if there is any way to proxy an ODBC connection? Basically what I would like to do is have Apache/PHP on Linux to make an ODBC_CONNECT call to the NT box (BTW- ONLY NT drivers are avail for the DB) and have the NT box proxy into the HP...blah blah.... If I cannot find a better method I am going to have to write some code sitting on a socket on the NT box to handle the database connection requests. But this will require using socket routines from PHP and not the ODBC stuff (which I really, really want to use. Very easy to do things :) Anyways, does anyone have any ideas on if there is a product out there which can proxy ODBC connections like this? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
