I'm trying to connect from PHP to a database via a ODBC driver.
I got confused from the manual they are speaking about normal ODBC and unified ODBC.
When I'm trying to do a odbc_connect ("thedsn"); I get a pop up window from the odbc driver "connection failed because you attempted a a DSN less connection ...". When I'm giving the dsnless connection string to odbc_connect it also goes wrong.
My questions are:
1. Can you connect to any ODBC driver from PHP?
2. What's the difference between normal ODBC and unified ODBC?
3. Has anybody a sollution for me (except for using iODBC, I'm not going to pay $650+ for a ODBC driver)?
I'm trying to connect to a pervasive database on a PC with Win2k, php4.3.0 and IIS5.0.
Thanx for all your answers,
