I'm having intermittent problems with odbc_connect(). Here's the situation.... I'm trying to connect to a Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere database running on Win2K from my web server using Solaris, Apache, PHP, iODBC, and OpenLink's ODBC universal data access driver for MSSQL/Sybase. About 75% of the time, my php scripts talk to the Sybase system fine. However, the other 25% of the time nothing really happens. IE reports a "Page cannot be displayed" error, while Firefox acts like it may do something for a fraction of a second, but then just stays on the currently loaded page. I have tracing turned on in iODBC. When things work fine, a lengthy trace file is generated and everything seems to be in order. When things don't work, all I get is the following: ---------------------------------- ** iODBC Trace file ** ** started on Wed Feb 16, 20:29 ** Application 00000001 ENTER SQLAllocEnv SQLHENV * 2f3158 Application 00000001 EXIT SQLAllocEnv with return code 0 (SQL_SUCCESS) SQLHENV * 2f3158 (30af78) Application 00000001 ENTER SQLAllocConnect SQLHENV 30af78 SQLHDBC * 2f315c Application 00000001 EXIT SQLAllocConnect with return code 0 (SQL_SUCCESS) SQLHENV 30af78 SQLHDBC * 2f315c (2dbbc8) Application 00000001 ENTER SQLConnect SQLHDBC 2dbbc8 SQLCHAR * 30c7e0 | PF32 | SQLSMALLINT -3 (SQL_NTS) SQLCHAR * 2f5b10 | viewaward | SQLSMALLINT -3 (SQL_NTS) SQLCHAR * ff0c4a28 | **** | SQLSMALLINT -3 (SQL_NTS) ---------------------------------- No connect errors are generated either in the trace file or in the browser's display. It's almost as if the process just dies without saying anything about why it happened. Any ideas?
