Hi George- I regularly interact with an SQL Server that lives on another host from a RedHat EL5 box using PHP. (the same libraries are used for SyBase and SQLServer).
I am currently using PHP PDO for database interactions. You'll need these two things: 1. the FreeTDS libraries see: http://www.freetds.org/ 2. the PHP PDO library for SyBase/SQLServer: http://pecl.php.net/package/PDO_DBLIB With those installed and enabled, you should be good to go. If you do not use PDO (I do recommend it, unless you are already using some other databse abstraction layer), you should be able to find the proper non-pdo php module by googling php and sybase. In general, I stay away form ODBC, but YMMV. Let me know if you have any other questions. I have set up a number of machines for PHP <--> SQLServer interaction (both Linux and Solaris) and it is kind of a pain, but once set up, works like a charm. --peter keane On Wed, 23 Jan 2008, Genny Engel wrote:
Anyone have PHP on Linux/Apache talking to a Sybase database on another server? If so, are you using Easysoft ODBC? Or have other options to recommend? Thanks, Genny Engel Internet Librarian Sonoma County Library [EMAIL PROTECTED] 707 545-0831 x581 www.sonomalibrary.org
