The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Installing php with odbc on a Linux box

Asked by horalia in PHP Installation

Tags: php

I'm a complete Windows junkie, and I think I'm making this process harder than it really is... Anyways, here goes:
I need to connect to a MSSQL server from a Linux box (Fedora Core 5) using PHP. I already installed freeTDS and configured a DSN, at least that's what I think I did, because I'm able to run a query from the command line using isql. This is the command that I use to do so:

isql -v MSSQLTestServer "user" "pass"

After running this command I immediately get a SQL> prompt.

Now my problem is accessing the MSSQL server using php... I read in the freeTDS user guide that I needed to configure PHP using ./configure --with-iodbc=/usr/local, but I got errors on each odbc command. I then changed the configuration to ./configure --with-unixodbc=/usr/local, I got no errors during the make and make install process, but I still can't connect. If I need to install something, please give me details, most of the web pages out there that give instructions are oriented to Linux users. I know nothing about rpms, yums, configure code, etc. I am reading though, I know there's a lot to learn with a new OS! This is the code that I'm using:

<?php
$connect = odbc_connect("MSSQLTestServer","user","pass");
if (!$connect) die ("Invalid connection");
?>

As you guessed it, everytime I open the page I get "Invalid connection". I appreciate any help. Thanks!Start Free Trial
