This is not really a PHP issue, but I spent hours figuring it out. While setting up the ODBC, I've cut/past a small test php script from a page. For some reason, the "odbc_connect" function wasn't recognized (I bet an "invisible" character" or a bug in my editor (Kate)). Retyping everything from scratch was the solution. If I take some time to tell this here it's because everywhere on the internet, the error "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: odbc_connect()" is told to be a symptom of a wrong ODBC/PHP installation. So I spent hours understanding why my configuration was bad, recompiling everything here and there... mislead by this "false" (in my case :)) statement. So, not a PHP issue but a issue hard to find with Google :) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.odbc.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35937 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35937&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35937&report=yes
