connecting to Sybase server

v1rt · 08-12-2010, 01:24 PM

Hey folks,

I need to reconfigure my php to have Sybase support. However, I am not sure which library to use. Can you guys help me out? I'll try freetds but I am not sure if it will work. I used it before with Microsoft MSSQL.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

From a brief Google search:

http://php.net/manual/en/ref.sybase.php

Should be installed with Apache2, as least it is on openSUSE 11.3. But you don't say what version/distro of Linux, or Apache. Without details, hard to say.

I have some Sybase SQLAnywhere servers, and my PHP apps connect to them using ODBC

I got it. I tried freetds again and it worked. I had to add SetEnv SYBASE pathtosybase in httpd.conf for php to recognize. After restarting apache, my mssql_connect worked.
