I just installed PHP 5.1.4 with SQL Server 2005 on my laptop. PHP is running fine and so is SQL Server 2005. When I try to connect to SQL Server from my my PHP code I get this error.
Warning: odbc_connect() [function.odbc-connect]: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 5
Here's my connection string that is causing the error
$connect_id = odbc_connect("Driver={SQL Server};Server=mydbname;Database=myDB","myUser", "myPass");
Any idea what's wrong? This is driving me nutts.. I installed PHP on my computer at home and had no problem connecting to SQL Server. It's like this laptop is cursed.
thanks,
Can't connect to SQL Server via ODBC

I googled your error message and found this thread at the top of the list.
