note 103199 added to function.ifx-connect

Here's a tip : When i first installed the informix through the removing the ; at php_ifx.dll and then restarted apache then checking the phpinfo(); the connection wasn't established and i had this error that i have to set the INFORMIXSERVER. Work Frame : Windows XP,Apache 2.2.1 php 5.3 The ODBC was working fine and i could connect to the informix server using the odbc connection The problem is that the sql engine was on another machine with different platform. [SOLUTION] add an environmental variable called INFORMIXSERVER with the value of the server e.g myInformixServer which itself has an ip 192.x.x.x You can do that on windows by right click on my computer advanced >> environmental variables >> add new System variable >> variable name = INFORMIXSERVER variable value = myInformixServer it worked like a charm ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 194.126.14.100 (proxied: 93.185.80.250) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ifx-connect.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103199 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103199/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103199/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103199/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103199/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103199/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103199/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103199 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103199 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
