Call to undefined function: odbc_connect()

[wmb]

This is probably a dumb question. I'm trying to connect to an access database through php following an old article on the site. I'm getting the fatal error "call to undefined function: odbc_connect()" Does this have something to do with the version of php running on the server or what could be the problem? Thanks.

From the php.net manual page...

http://www.php.net/odbc_connect

I was getting the error:

Call to undefined function: odbc_connect()

on a machine with unixODBC compiled in php ('--with-unixODBC=shared,/usr' ), and I was wondering what was wrong since php.ini indicates that:

"Note that MySQL and ODBC support is now built in, so no dll is needed for it."

After installing php4-odbc and adding the line

extension=odbc.so

it worked.

Hope it helps others....
