Is there any chance that you have to work with fields that will return more than 4k of text? If so, you may have problems with ODBC. I can't remember if I ever used odbc_connect() and its related functions with SQL Server (I mostly use it to read Excel spreadsheets), but I know we couldn't use PDO (with either the PDO_MSSQL or PDO_ODBC drivers) because of a limit on TEXTSIZE that we couldn't get around. On our older stuff, we're still using the mssql library, but on our newer stuff we're using the SQL Server Driver for PHP. It connects via ODBC, but it is the best library I've found for working with SQL Server in PHP.

I'm actually using a combination of the DSN*-string and the odbc.ini settings.

[PHP] PHP + ODBC
Hello all. My head hurts from hitting it on my desk all day, so I thought I'd turn to a fresher set of eyes. The issue I'm having is getting PHP to connect ODBC. I can get it to work using isql from the command line. Can you verify my settings: /etc/odbc.ini: [MySQL] Description = MySQL 3.51 ODBC driver Driver = MySQL Host= s-irv-web02 Server = s-irv-web02 UID = user Password= pass Database= clients Port= 3306 /etc/odbcinst.ini: [MySQL] Description = ODBC 3.51 for MySQL Driver = /usr/lib/libmyodbc3.so Setup = /usr/lib/libodbcmyS.so FileUsage = 1 UsageCount = 2 Again, isql allows me to connect with the same settings as above: isql MySQL user pass I've tried several settings in PHP to attempt to connect to it. All have been fruitless: I've tried the above DSNs and many other versions of it ad nauseum. The specific error I'm getting is... "[unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified." I really have searched high and low for a solution, but to no avail. Any thoughts?

[PHP] PHP, ODBC and Pervasive SQL
I am trying to connect from PHP to Pervasive SQL using ODBC, and I am
experiencing difficulty.
My PHP looks like this:
$dsn = "GruffTrading"; // Datasource
$dsu = ""; // User
$dsp = ""; // Password
if(!$odbc = odbc_connect($dsn,$dsu,$dsp)) die("Unable to connect to Data
Source $dsn".odbc_error().": ".odbc_errormsg());
I can connect to the database using the same DSN from MS Access, and I can
connect to an Access database using the same PHP code, but obviously a
different DSN.
The error is S1000: [Pervasive Software][ODBC Interface][Pervasive Software
SQL Engine]General error.
I am using the Pervasive Software ODBC-32 driver, version 2.04.02.10, and am
running on Windows 2000 Professional, latest patches and stuff all loaded,
and PHP 4.3.0
I would appreciate any pointers in the right direction.
Cheers,
William.
[PHP] PHP ODBC and Pervasive.SQL
Hi, I am executing a SELECT query from PHP (4.3.4) through ODBC on a Pervasive 2000SP4 (all on Windows). odbc_result_all, odbc_fetch_into, and all other php odbc function stop returning records before the end of the effective resultset. Here is what is happening : * In Pervasive: SELECT * FROM table returns n records (correct). * In Access, throught ODBC, the same query returns the same n records (correct). * In PHP, odbc_exec of the same query returns mhttp://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] PHP ODBC
Is there ODBC for PHP4 for LINUX to connect MS-SQL? p.s. other than openlink software rgds ./pl
[PHP] PHP ODBC Problem
Hi,
I've installed PHP 4.3.0 on a Win2k (SP3) IIS 5 server, as we were moving
the site to another server (old server was also win2k, php 4.3.0), and ODBC
calls no longer function correctly when served from the webserver, however
they work perfectly when called from the command line.
So http://site/odbc_test.php hanged, while 'php odbc_test.php' in cmd.exe
worked perfectly. The ODBC drivers and settings are the same as what was on
the previous server.
Tracked down the problem to the ODBC_Connect line. If I specified an invalid
DSN, e.g. odbc_connect("wrong", "","") or die (); the script would
terminate with the correct error message. However, if I specified a valid
DSN then PHP would simply hang. No error message. Nothing in the Event
Viewier.
At first I was using the ISAPI version of PHP for IIS, but then after I saw
ODBC work using PHP from the command line, I changed IIS over to use
php.exe, but with no success.
Any ideas?
Oh, and I did end up setting the security permissions for the ODBC database
directory to give System & Everyone & IUSER_ full access.

RE: [PHP] PHP + ODBC on IIS (Win2k)
Ignacio,
He can use Access and local ODBC just fine, as he is on a Windows box.
Actually, the ODBC Socket server isn't needed from Linux either, as OpenLink
provides Single-Tier and Multi-Tier ODBC drivers from *nix platforms to many
databases.
