It is possible to access SQLAnywhere via the unified ODBC driver, but the problem is that when Apache does a fork() it duplicates all open file handles including sockets, and we end up with two different processes trying to write to the same socket or same shared memory file hence, this confuses the ASA server and ends up disconnecting clients. With this new module, we avoid this problem by controlling when the init/fini is done in the module. In addition, setting up the ODBC with asa involves setting environment variables and using a driver manager which is not standard on UNIX and prune to errors and build problems to users. This new modules simplifies all that in that it links with the dblib library (the other native interface of SQL Any). In addition, with the existence of this module, we can add features that are specific to ASA such as improved blob handling which exists in newer releases (8) of ASA. M.

Isn't SQL Any accessed via ODBC and/or sybase openclient? What does the new driver do that these don't (Not knocking the extension, just curious)? Brian On 25 Jan 2002, Mohammed Abouzour wrote:

I have writen an extension that allows PHP to connect to SQLAnywhere

databases. I would like to include and maintain this extension with the PHP distribution.

The module that I will be adding would be php4/ext/sqlanywhere. And for the record, Derick Rethans is the one who advised me to get a CVS

account.

Thanks, M. Abouzour
