PHP will work with multiple databases, as long as you don't try to use any of the uodbc based flavors together (Solid, Empress ,iODBC, unixODBC, Easysoft OOB, OpenLink, Adabas D, Velocis, DBMaker, SAP DB and IBM DB2). If you need to connect to multiple ODBC databases, use a driver manager such as iODBC or unixODBC and the appropriate ODBC driver. Never mind the problem. I found that PHP won't use both the --with-ibm-db2 option and --with-iobc option, it only can use one of them. As oulined above, instead of using --with-ibm-db2 and --with-iodbc just use --with-iodbc and create a DSN for your DB2 server with iodbc. -Andreas -- Andreas Karajannis mediaworx berlin AG Fon (0 30) 2 75 80 - 266 Fax (0 30) 2 75 80 - 200 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Compile --with-iodbc as per the howto at www.iodbc.org and you can use ODBC drivers for multiple database platforms at the same time.

I found that PHP can be compiled and work with only one database software. You won't be able to have PHP to work with 2 seperate database softwares. (You can compile it but it will work only with one databse software, not both, no matter what). I checked the php ./configure file and found that it is not design to include 2 seperate databases when you want it to. Man, it would be very nice to have PHP to work with multiple database softwares. The only way you can have PHP to work with more than 1 database softwares, then you would need to compile PHP Apache to work with one database. Then re-configure and re-compile PHP Apache to a seperate directory. That way, you will have 2 apaches and run them together. There is no other way!

For the record, I've successfully built PHP to work with MySQL, Informix, and Sybase/MSSQL and am able to successfully use all three -- even within the same script when it's called for.

RE: [PHP-DB] PHP vs. 2 database softwares
Scott, I didn't know that you couldn't use multiple database protocols at once, and this does surprise me to. ODBC is a way around this problem, however, abstracting the protocol for you.
