Ok this time I checked the SQL select syntax! So I hope it's not something that easy again (Well actually easy would be nice....) The other day I Posted a email question about getting a 37000 sql error but my sql syntax was wrong. Yes I felt stupid but this time I corrected the syntax and I am still getting an error but, the error is that the web browser "times-out" trying to get the page. (Nothing displayed and a browser error "Could not open the page ³http://127.0.0.1/tests/odbc.php²; because Safari could not load any data for this location." I get the same type of thing with Internet Explorer. Here is a recap. I am using iodbc from openlink on OS X and everything seems fine. I can get and display tables with: $results = odbc_tables($conn) or die("<P>".odbc_errormsg()); odbc_result_all($results) or die("<p>pulling result error"); (full syntax below) But when I switch to $results = odbc_exec($conn,$sql) or die("<p> captured ".odbc_errormsg()); odbc_result_all($results) or die("<p>pulling result error"); I get an: "Could not open the page ³http://127.0.0.1/tests/odbc.php²; because Safari could not load any data for this location." Any ideas? Why tables work but SQL Select doesn't? Also I have a 5 user openlink license. how do I reset the connections after I get 5 errors because I think the connections are not dropped when PHP gets an error? The only way I can get to 5 lic. Limit to reset is to restart os x? Sudo apachectl restart doesn't seem to work either? Full Syntax: <? odbc_close_all(); putenv("DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/libiodbc.dylib"); putenv("ODBCINSTINI=/Library/ODBC/odbcinst.ini"); putenv("ODBCINI=/Library/ODBC/odbc.ini"); //odbc.ini contains your DSNs. $dsn="DSNname"; // this is a valid DSN ? can be tested in odbctest $user="name"; $password="password"; $sql="SELECT * FROM tblDepartments"; $conn=odbc_connect("$dsn","$user","$password") or die ("<p>couldn't connect"); echo "connected to DSN: $dsn"; echo "<BR><b>SQL:</b> $sql<BR>"; //$results = odbc_exec($conn,$sql) or die("<p> captured ".odbc_errormsg()); $results = odbc_tables($conn) or die("<P>".odbc_errormsg()); odbc_result_all($results) or die("<p>pulling result error"); echo "closing connection $conn"; odbc_close($conn); odbc_close_all(); ?> Don Myers -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
