From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: NT 4.0 PHP version: 4.0.0 PHP Bug Type: ODBC related Bug description: Problem Connecting to the Database OS: WinNT 4.0 SP PHP version: 4.0.0 Database: DB2 (remote on network) Network protocol: TCP/IP In a previous note from yesterday, Chris explained that there is no ODBC involved in connecting to DB2, the functions just share names: "Note: There is no ODBC involved when connecting to the above databases. The functions that you use to speak natively to them just happen to share the same names and syntax as the ODBC functions. <SNIP> -Chris" When I tried to use ODBC_CONNECT('ip_address', 'user', 'password'); I got the following ODBC error back from the operating system: "Warning: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in e:\www\do_dbtest.php on line 7 Couldn't connect." This looks like to me that ODBC IS in fact being called. and it is causing interference with me getting a connection to my DB2 database. What could be wrong? Does the newer releases of PHP resolve this or am I doing something wrong on my end? Thank you.
