In 2005 I am somewhat surprised at the steady level ofemails and commentary expressing confusion about the use of PHP and ODBC.

Here are a few links that resolve any confusion about this matter:

  1. OpenLink's PHP and iODBC HOWTO doc: http://www.iodbc.org/index.php?page=languages/php/odbc-phpHOWTO
  2. PHP Everywhere's guide: http://phplens.com/phpeverywhere/node/view/9
  3. Zili Zhang's piece from 1999 (time flies!): http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/MSSQL6-Openlink-PHP-ODBC.html
  4. Zend's ODBC Tutorial: http://www.zend.com/zend/tut/odbc.php

Or simple google on PHP and ODBC or PHP and iODBC ...
