Cheryl: In the PHP Manual ; resource odbc_columns ( resource $connection_id [, string $qualifier [, string $schema [, string $table_name [, string $column_name ]]]] ) Lists all columns in the requested range. Parameters connection_id The ODBC connection identifier, see odbc_connect() for details. qualifier The qualifier. schema The owner. table_name The table name. column_name The column name. I the first email you send: $outval = odbc_columns($conn, "DB#LIBNAME", "%", "TABLENAME", "%"); $conn is truly a connection object ? You check if has no errors in the connection processes?

I changed the $outval line to $outval = odbc_columns($rs, "DB#LIBNAME", "%", "TABLENAME", "%"); ...but still got the same error - Warning: odbc_columns() expects parameter 1 to be resource, object given in D:\WAMP\www\directory\filename.php on line 13 -----Original Message----- From: Jim Giner [mailto:jim.giner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2012 10:31 AM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Getting Column Names from an AS400 Database I'm thinking that it should read $rs = $conn->execute($q); $outval = odbc_columns($rs, "DB#LIBNAME", "%", "TABLENAME", "%"); You need to provide the results of the query to the odbc_columns, not the connection object. Just my guess since I've never used this. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php Notice: This communication, including attachments, may contain information that is confidential and protected.
