Newbie: Trying to connect to a SyBase DB through PHP

[phenley]

Hi,
I've installed Apache 2.0, PHP4, SyBase 7, setup the database

I'm trying to connect to SyBase using the below code, but keep getting 'DB Error: extension not found'.

Can anyone help me this.

<?php

//require the PEAR:😃B classes.

require_once 'DB.php';

$db_engine = 'sybase';
$db_user = 'ccs';
$db_pass = 'ccs';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'SupportSystem';

$datasource = $db_engine.'://'.
$db_user.':'.
$db_pass.'@'.
$db_host.'/'.
$db_name;

$db_object = DB::connect($datasource, TRUE);

/* assign database object in $db_object,

if the connection fails $db_object will contain

the error message. */

// If $db_object contains an error:

// error and exit.

if(DB::isError($db_object)) {
die($db_object->getMessage());
}

?>

I uncommented
extension=php_sybase_ct.dll
in php.ini

as i read i needed to do this.

Now php is looking for a libct.dll.

Where do i get this

Hi,

you need to install the sybase client software on the web server.

Problem sorted didn't even need that libct.dll in the end.
Used ODBC to connect to Sybase from PHP, code below.

Now the fun starts with the development of the systems GUIs and its functionality.
Anyone have experience with log-ins in PHP

$conn=odbc_connect('database','username','password');
if (!$conn)
{
exit("Connection Failed: " . $conn);
}
