[Cialug] odbc_connect

[Adam Hill]

Have you tried this type of DNS-less connection documented here ?
http://php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-connect.php

Example #1 DSN-less connections
<?php
// Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Native Client 10.0 ODBC Driver -
allows connection to SQL 7, 2000, 2005 and 2008
$connection = odbc_connect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=
$server;Database=$database;", $user, $password);
Some of the comments on that page maybe valuable too, this one sounds
similar: http://php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-connect.php#51420 -
basically confirm that your php.ini / php.d files load all the necessary
odbc configuration for it'd php module.  Speaking of which, have you peaked
into your php_info() to see if that shares any insights into the odbc php
module?
