Does anyone have any experience using PHP with Sybase? does they work well together?
are there any resource/tutorials on PHP+ Sybase out there? I see a lot of PHP+Mysql

Would alternatives like Oracle be a better choice? I'm running it on a Redhat 7.0 for a fairly medium size website.

any view appreciated

thanks

    I've used Sybase in the past, though not with PHP, and these days I'm using MS SQL Server (which is Sybase' twin brother, separated at birth years ago) with PHP. I use ODBC to access it, so I would exepect the same code to work fine under both DBMS.
    Only problem I had so far was with getting result sets from stored procedures - I saw on this forum that this was not supported yet in PHP. It may be different if you use the Sybase-specific functions, but I haven't looked into these functions for obvious reasons.

    Hope this helps

      Not sure if you are still looking for a reply...

      I've used Sybase with PHP for almost a year now...

      It's working great...

      Once you get through how to code the connection it's the easiest thing in the world to code for... Especially if your using stored procedures...
