RE: [PHP-DB] WIN/ODBC/Interbase

Todd, Our stuff comes as a free, nonexpiring download. The drivers are fully functional but limit you to 10 conncurrent connections. Go to our site, and hit the 'product availability' link. Assuming that Interbase is on Windows, and you have some sort of native or MS driver that you can create a DSN there with, you should install our Multi-tier drivers, with the server side on the MS box. Don't bother selecting any database when selecting install components on Windows, as you are using the odbc agent (odbc_sv) instead of a specific database agent (e.g. ora8_sv). If your php is on linux/unix, install the client there, otherwise on Windows, etc. Once installed, test our Multi-tier drivers without php in the mix, just to make sure they are working :) You will need to add a DSN in the ODBC Admin Control panel on Windows, or add a DSN in the odbc.ini on linux/unix. After you have verified that: 1. openlink is installed and working. 2. you have a working DSN on the Win box created against Interbase using a 3rd party driver (call it 'foo' for this example) 3. set up a DSN on your client, ServerType = ODBC (Domain = ODBC on Windows) and Host = <windows box> and Database = foo (Name = foo on Windows) We have extensive documentation both on our site and with the download, that gives examples of similar architecture. We also have free support for evaluators at http://www.openlinksw.com/support/suppindx.htm if you run into problems. Hope this helps!
