This message is mainly to put a bit of knowledge into the public record,
and everyone elses mind. Derick suggested I share this with all of you
too. Blame Derick.
It's come to my attention that some recent Service Packs for the Windows
series of OS's will cause the PHP ODBC to no longer work. It's not a bug
with PHP itself though, so if you start to see people complaining about
this there is a simple fix:
Install the MDAC from Microsoft.
This seems to fix all the problems seen. Unfortunately I don't have a
matrix to share of what might be the problem OSes and which SP in
particular does it. I do know Win2000 does have this problem.
Anyways, some info for your minds to remember.
