Hi, We are currently configuring PHP4.0.4 with MySQL and Apache. We *need* to access MySQL via ODBC as well. Which is the best thing to do? There are many options of different ODBC drivers that can be configured, like 'iodbc' or 'openlink' from Openlink or unixODBC. Which driver is best? Which has better administration tools? Which has GUI's? Any comments about pros and cons about each one, functionalities available, ease of installation ? When building PHP, I know I should choose among options like (I quote here from memory): --with-iodbc --with-openlink --with-unixODBC --with-customODBC I tried building it with iODBC support, but make failed because of some source header files needed that were missing. About MyODBC: it is just an API and not the proper driver I suppose. We are going to access the Linux server both locally as well as remotely from Windows98 workstations. So I believe we should install MyODBC only on our Windows clients machines and not on the server, right? What about MySQLGUI? Should I install it only at my windows machines or also on the server. Is it somewhat similar to what I have seen about a unixODBC grphical manager for KDE? Any tips would be greatly appreciated, TIA, Paulo
