I just downloaded the latest php4.0.4p1 binary distribution, and I have no problem
using
the Sybase functions. I have had problems with previous versions (prior to 4.0.2 or
so)
and made minor fixes for them.
What version of Sybase are you using? It may be that your libraries don't match those
that php was build with, and you'll need to either install a different set of
libraries or
rebuild php against your libraries. I have version 10.0.4 of libct installed. I think
that I once had a problem when I installed the libraries for windows that Sybase
supplies
with the Linux server. I put back the old ones and all was fine.
Have you tried running php.exe from the command line? You can sometimes see errors
that
way that won't show up when using a web server.
I'm running PWS 4.0 and the cgi version of php.
Once it is working, you do need to bump up the sybct serverity levels from 10 to 11 in
php.ini to get rid of the change database message.
