#39453 [Opn->Fbk]: Misleading note in ODBC Functions (Unified)

ID: 39453 Updated by: sean@php.net Reported By: nick dot gorham at easysoft dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Which note do you mean? The note I see doesn't say the same thing you indicate, but I might be just missing it. Also, while your documentation problem may be justified, we can't possible accommodate users who don't set permissions properly (and decide to rebuild PHP). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-09 17:14:27] nick dot gorham at easysoft dot com Description: ------------ On the Unified ODBC doc page, there is a note at the top that indicates that iODBC is the way to use ODBC via PHP. The problem with this (IMHO), is that it seems to be suggesting that iODBC is the only way. Of course unixODBC is still supported in the build, and last time I looked that was what most linux distribs came with. I have just had a user, causing himeself all sorts of problems, as he decided he needed to rebuild his copy of PHP because it was supplied built with unixODBC, and he needed to change to iODBC. That wasn't his problem at all, it was actually a permissions problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39453&edit=1
