Note: if you are using iodbc-3.51.0, this will expose a problem in PHP's configure script whereby it assumes the only library required is -liodbc, when it should be calling " iodbc-config -libs" to determine the LDFLAGS required. and change into the resultant directory. Unpack the PHP sources with a command like - tar xvpfj php-4.3.2.tar.bz2

these are all configurable at this time.Īfter a while, Apache should finish compiling and install itself into /usr/local/apache/. configure -prefix=/usr/local/apache -enable-module=so -enable-mods-shared=Ĭhoose the list of modules to go with whatever you expect to be loading from your nf (or similar).Īmong other things, authentication, dav (in the case of Apache 2.x), ssl, virtualhosting, user-tracking, spelling-correction, proxying, SSI, fine control of MIME data, etc. We build apache with support for dynamic modules and APXS: cd httpd-1.3.* If you prefer to statically link iODBC then remove or rename libiodbc.so from the above path, and libiodbc.a will be statically linked instead.
#CONNECTING TO ODBC MANAGER IN PHP DRIVER#
this tells the compiler where to find the driver manager.

Set some environment variables: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/src/odbcsdk/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH Set up a build location, and get the latest builds of iODBC, Apache, and PHP.

If you use root privileges, please do so on a test machine. Root privileges can be obtained by typing su root and entering your root password, but be forewarned that you can easily destroy your system as root. You will need to be a user who has sufficient privileges to perform all of these steps as well. Compiling PHP with linked iODBC Driver Manager as an Apache shared module Support with downloading, installing, configuring, and testing these OpenLink products may be obtained through the OpenLink Community Space.

The Virtuoso database may also be downloaded for free trial.
#CONNECTING TO ODBC MANAGER IN PHP DRIVERS#
If you need ODBC drivers to connect to a third-party database on the same or another machine, OpenLink ODBC Drivers are available, and may be downloaded for free trial. You will also need an ODBC Driver and Database to complete the architecture. It is released under a dual LGPL / BSD license. IODBC is an Open Source Driver Manager maintained by OpenLink Software. Under non-Windows platforms you may need to install a Driver Manager. The driver manager registers a set of ODBC driver connection parameters called a Data Source Name (DSN).Īn application looks to the driver manager for a DSN, and then passes the connection parameters specified in the DSN to the appropriate driver, which makes the connection. The driver manager under Microsoft Windows platforms is the ODBC Control Panel. ODBC connections involve an application, driver manager, driver, and database. ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) is an operating system- and database-independent communication API that allows a client application (productivity tool, other database, web page, custom application, etc.) to communicate via standards-based function calls to a backend database without relying on that vendor's proprietary communication protocols. This HOWTO is intended to assist in connecting php/ apache to back end databases via ODBC in a development environment and should not take the place of thorough testing before deployment on a production system.

It is currently maintained by Tim Haynes of Openlink Software ( include basic Unix familiarity, such as creating directories and users, using an editor, etc. The following is a HOWTO document for installing PHP with iODBC as an Apache module on Linux or Unix.įeel free to criticize, suggest modifications, or ask further questions.
