So this code:

$odbc = odbc_connect("cvalcoinput","","") OR die("There is an error connecting to the 
CSV file.");
$result = odbc_tables($odbc);

while(odbc_fetch_into($result, $fields)){
  for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($fields); $i++) {
    echo $fields[$i] . "<br>";
  }
}

Derives the following results:
D:\INETPUB\CVALCO\INCLUDE\INPUT

inputfile.txt
TABLE

Which makes sense.  Those are the contents of the array returned by odbc_tables.  Now 
try to use odbc_exec and I run into my problems.  This article on the microsoft KB 
seems to suggest under "text driver limitations" that I should be able to run select 
statements using the odbc_exec command.

Anyone know of any really good ODBC resources?

// ODBC commands to explore connection:
$result = odbc_tables($odbc);
odbc_fetch_into($result,$row);
print_r($row);
[/snip]

Have you tried a WHILE loop to print out each row? I am not sure of the exact syntax 
but something like;

<?php
while(odbc_fetch_into($result, &$fields)){
   print($fields[0]);
   print($fields[1]);
   // and so on ...
   print("<br>\n"); //at end of row
}
?>
