Hello all, have some problems to connect my php script to a remote interbase running on W2K Server! My systems: DB-Server: W2K Server with interbase 5.x Webserver: SuSE 8.0 with apache 1.3.23 and php 4.1.0 Problem: I want to use the odbc_connect() to connect to the remote DB-Server, from the shell with isql it works! my scripts: odbc.ini: [dtm] Driver = INTERBASE Description = interbase driver Database = 192.168.2.29:d:/ES2000/DB/IBSQL/DTM/DTM.gdb User = something Password = something With_Schema = 0 Dialect = 1 Charset = Role = Nowait = 0 odbcinst.ini [INTERBASE] Description = Easysoft Driver for Interbase Driver = /usr/lib/libib7odbc.so Setup = /usr/lib/libib7odbcS.so FileUsage = 1 DontDLClose = 1 Trace = Yes Trace File = /var/log/sql-log If I do a connection from the shell with: "isql -v dtm" it works, but with the php it doesn't. my php: <?PHP include("header.php"); putenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib"); putenv("ODBCINSTINI= /etc/odbcinst.ini"); putenv("ODBCINI= /etc/odbc.ini"); $db = "dtm"; $connection = odbc_connect($db,'','') or die (odbc_errormsg()); include("../include/footer.php"); ?> It fails with the errormsg: Warning: SQL error: [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded, SQL state IM003 in SQLConnect in /www/dtm/katalog/test.php on line 8 [iODBC][Driver Manager]Specified driver could not be loaded Where line 8 is the line with: "$connection = odbc_connect('dtm','','') or die (odbc_errormsg());" Even if I declare the $db with the location of the database and username and password? Where is my fault? Maybe anbody can help me... Regards Christian -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
