From Windows Help: You can use Data Sources Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) to access data from a variety of database management systems. For example, if you have a program that accesses data in a SQL database, Data Sources (ODBC) will let you use the same program to access data in a Visual FoxPro database. To do this, you must add software components called drivers to your system. Data Sources (ODBC) helps you add and configure these drivers.
The only thing you'll really need ODBC for on Windows with PHP is to work with an Access database, but why would you want to when MySQL and SQL Server are faster?
