Note Submitter: benjie ---- The description of odbc_data_source is misleading. It says "Returns information about a current connection" but in actual fact, it returns all possible DSNs in your server (on subsequent calls) ...and the first call doesn't even return the description of the current connection at all example: $dsn = "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.1 Driver};Server=localhost;Database=mysql"; $conn = odbc_connect($dsn, 'root', '') or die(odbc_errormsg() ); $result = @odbc_data_source($conn, SQL_FETCH_FIRST) ; var_dump($result); odbc_close($conn); outputs the following on my machine: array(2) { ["server"]=> string(11) "dBASE Files" ["description"]=> string(51) "Microsoft Access dBASE Driver (*.dbf, *.ndx, *.mdx)" } Which is not one would expect (or am I wrong?). I would expect 'server' to return 'MySQL' since that is the DSN I used to connect. Is there any way I can get the data source info of the current connection I am in? Thanks.
