In some ways it is similar to an ODBC to ODBC bridge. Typically bridges are used for UNIX to Win32 connectivity. In your case it appears that the client and server are both Win32 platforms. Is there a reason why you cannot install the required ODBC drivers on the machine running IIS? We are using ODBTP on an Apache / PHP / Solaris server to access databases via ODBC drivers on a Win2K server. However, I am certain that the PHP extension should work on the Win32 platform. Unfortunately I do not possess the knowledge on how to compile and install extensions for Win32-based PHP.
The ODBTP software is not quite ready for prime time (primarily due to a lack of documentation). If you like I can give you the URL to what's available now. -- bob On Wed, 13 Nov 2002, Daniel Swarbrick wrote: > Could this provide the functionality of an ODBC to ODBC bridge, if one used > the Win32 client library? > > We have a requirement for an IIS webserver in a DMZ to talk to an ODBC > database on a Windows 2000 server in the trusted network. > > I know there is already an ODBC-ODBC bridge commercial package, but it's a > tad expensive. > > "Robert Twitty" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:00aa01c28296$aeb10fe0$9b00a8c0@;bobawa... > > Hello > > > > ODBTP consists of a Windows NT / 2000 service application, an ODBTP client > > library that can be used to create Win32 or UNIX clients, and a PHP > > extension module that was created with the library.
