Hello Everybody, I wait that somebody can help me, therefore already I depleted my possibilities. I need to develop a site in PHP with access to the Data base Informix. The such of the data base alone functions with NTFS (W2k, WNT). I installed the W2K Advanced Server in my house... and installed INFORMIX IDS 7.31. Now the problems start. IN THE INFORMIX - It does not obtain to initiate a ISM. service. (Informix Storage Manager). I do not know if this influences in some thing. - When time to create a new DATABASE... it is in the "RUNNING..." message and stops.... Now it becomes a big problem! What´s happening? - Good... for creating database I was not obtaining success... but.. in databases that already they were created I obtained to make select, etc.. (this in the DBACCESS). So..I asked myself: "If I to obtain to connect to this database and to create a table inside already the created database , could help me".. Correct? Theoretically yes. however in the time that I go to create database comes the message of the "RUNNING..." and again.. freezee in this message. IN THE PHP - Exactly that the bank does not make nothing. I tried to make the connection for the PHP. We have 2 ways: a) Functions IFX of php I take off the commentary of line EXTENSIONS in the PHP.ini where I meet DLL PHP_IFX.DLL. The DLL is exactly in the way that I passed, however gets an error (unable you load dynamic library) Piece o cake ah? Obs. I also have client in the INFORMIX installed certinho in mine máquinha. b) ODBC In the time that I thought about these solutions I had the certainty that my problems would go to finish. I was missed again..(smiles) i have create the ODBC correct and such. I called the function connection to the ODBC passing the DSN, USER, PASSWORD. And i got an error message.
