Thanks to all who helped with this problem.
As it turns out, it was much stupider than one could suppose, just yet another
demonstration that nobody should code more than a very few hours in a row...

The odbc_connect statement is nested in the whole PHP code in
such a way (thanks to include, require, functions and such) that in the line 
where it is executed "odbc_connect($DSN ........)" the $DSN variable was
out of scope. Declaring it global brought me to this poinrt

Warning: SQL error: [unixODBC][TCX][MyODBC]Access denied for user: 
'@localhost' to database 'mbdb97', SQL state S1000 in SQLConnect in
/test.php line 87

so now I still have to work a lot, but at least all the pieces are in place, 
and do talk to each other.

        Thank you again,
