Well if you are using Linux you could try looking for a .o file or I think they have 
RPMs for some of these that just have a .o file in them and then configure php for 
you.  Basically what you are looking for is a php_$whatever_module.  Like I downloaded
php_imap_mod.rpm and php_mysql_mod.rpm  I am sure they have an ODBC.  If not then you 
will have to do it the hard way and find a ODBC.o or something that has been compiled 
with php before, put it in the correct directory (I cant remember which) and then edit
/etc/php.ini to load in the module when php is run.  If you still cant find any of 
this for a module you want.... sorry you will have to recompile.  :)  Oh by the way 
all the stuff I described above is a sinch with Debian Linux :) (not that I am 
partial).

Good Luck,
