Here is the full script:

        $a=odbc_connect("mydsn","myid","mypwd") or die("Database is down"); 
        echo "$a";
        $b=odbc_exec($a,"select * from mytable");
        echo odbc_error ();

FYI, if I execute only the first 2 lines, there is no problem, meaning that
the server is accesssible ($a is "Resource id #1").

When the whole script is executed with Internet Explorer, a windows pops up
and says: "The connection with the server was reset".

When executed with Opera, the window says: "Repeated attemps failed to load
this page completely.  Them may be a problem on the server".

the echo odbc_error() does not help.


The Apache server, and php pages are on my PC (localhost) connected to a
LAN, and the SQL Server is on a NT server on the LAN.  The dsn odbc driver
is on my PC.


What's wrong here and what should I change?

Thanks to all for your inputs.

If you attempt to echo out a Resource Id it tells you it's name :) This
should still work in an exec.
