RE: [PHP4BETA] ODBC functions for PHP 4 improvements

Leo Baschy writes: With PHP 4 about to go final I might as well make sure / take some responsibility for / coordinate that ODBC works well in PHP 4. (Unless someone else tells me they want to do that right now.) To smooth the process (avoid conflicts) I would like to know (from _you_): - are you using ODBC ? YES - which database Oracle, SqlServer, Sybase, Informix, Virtuoso, Progress, Ingres, Access - which operating system RH Linux 6.1, FreeBSD (php) WinNT, Win2K, Linux (database servers) - which Web server Apache - which version of PHP v3.0.13, and v4.0b4 (modules) - are you changing PHP source yourself ? No - are you actively changing PHP's ODBC functions No - are you compiling yourself or are you using the built binary ? (would you notice if something breaks?) Yes - which compiler environment gcc - whatever else you think matters An ODBC driver manager is necessary before implementing drivers; a fact that folks often miss the first time. My .02 would be to build the lgpl iODBC driver manager in by default - individual driver choice would still remain with the user, but driver manager issues would resolve, cut down initial confusion, and allow out-of-the-box application connectivity for any databases with free drivers.
