Re: php and sybase

I have configured Syabse and php4 using the --with-sybase-ct=SYBASE_PATH. but either one should work. The "ct" refers to a newer connection type that Sybase prefers. It should be better. The other is the older connection method. Other than this, the Sybase install need an interfaces file in SYBASE_PATH/interfaces. This file contains the name that is associated with your Sybase server and it's address and port number for connection. e.g. DEV query tcp ether devtestl.costeel.com 5000 Try connecting with isql using; #isql -U{username} -SDEV -p You ahould be prompted with a password prompt. After entering the correct credentials (case sensitive) you should get a prompt like; 1> This means success. The only other item I can think of....is the entry in the php.ini file in the sybase section that refers to the location and name of the interfaces file; sybase.interface_file = "/usr/sybase/interfaces" #on my machine Hope it helps Paul K.
