Re: Intermittent odbc_connect() problem with iodbc/openlink

Assuming you always connect to the server using the exact parameter values for odbc_connect(), this does not look like an easy one to solve. I also connect to a Sybase database on a Win2K server from PHP/Apache/Solaris. However, I don't use the odbc extension. I use the odbtp extension, which works very well, and has better support. So, you probably will have better results with odbtp, which is available at http://odbtp.sourceforge.net.
