Todd I use the ODBC drivers to connect a w2k server running PHP to a w2k server running MSSql. It is used mainly for real time reports on sales etc. I have had trouble in the past connecting. Downloading & installing MDAC from MS on the php server helped.
Not much data is transferred, so never really run into performance problems. $db = "odbbcname"; $cx=odbc_connect($db,'sa','password'); $sql = "select * from table"; $cur=odbc_exec($cx,$sql); while(odbc_fetch_row($cur)){ $rep=odbc_result($cur,1); } "Todd Cary" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a client that insists that I use SQL Server as the DB (vs. MySQL or Interbase). I have not used PHP's ODBC interface and I am wondering if anyone on this list has had experience with ODBC and SQL Server.
