WRT Jerzy's comment about the problem of sybase_connect() not using an IP address or server name, but the Sybase interfaces file, I'd like to point out as a long time Sybase programmer that this is the right way to do it. A number of other products that get you Sybase access thru a web page require embedding the actual machine and port rather than the symbolic name and letting Sybase resolve that for you. It is a big plus for PHP that it does not break that model, which is essential in high-availability situations to allow a database to be moved from one machine to another with one chenge to one line of one file.
