4. Example

Please refers to PHP manual for ODBC functions. Here is my example code odbc.php3: (Note that odbc_num_rows() will not return anything, so you must repeately call odbc_fetch_row() to get that number.)

<?
/* some environment variables, you can test to comment them out to see
 * if things still work.
 */
putenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/openlink/odbcsdk/lib");
putenv("UDBCINI=/etc/udbc.ini");
putenv("ODBCINI=/root/.odbc.ini");
putenv("DebugFile=/tmp/udbc.out");      // debug trace output

$dsn="DSN=dsn_main";    // note 'DSN=' is required
$user="sa";
$password="xxxxxxx";

$sql="SELECT * FROM titles";

/* directly execute mode                        */
if ($conn_id=odbc_connect("$dsn",$user,$password)){
        echo "connected to DSN: $dsn<br><br>";
        if($result_id=odbc_do($conn_id, $sql)) {
                echo "executing '$sql'<br><br>";
                        $num_fields=odbc_num_fields($result_id);
                        if($num_fields>0){
                                echo "Number of fields:
$num_fields<br>";
                                for($i=1;$i<=$num_fields;$i++){

$field_name[$i-1]=odbc_field_name($result_id,$i);
                                }
                                $num_rows=0;
                                while(odbc_fetch_row($result_id)){
                                        for($i=1;$i<=$num_fields;$i++){

$result[$num_rows][$field_name[$i-1]]=odbc_result($result_id,$i);
                                        }
                                        $num_rows++;
                                }
                                echo "Number of rows: $num_rows<br>";
                        }else{
                                echo "not a field returned. <br><br>";
                        }
                echo "Results:<br>";
                for($i=0;$i<sizeof($result);$i++){
                        while(list($key,$value)=each($result[$i])){
                                echo "$i:$key=$value<br>";
                        }
                }

                odbc_free_result($result_id);
        }else{
                echo "can not execute '$sql'<BR><BR>";
        }
        echo "closing connection $conn_id";
        odbc_close($conn_id);
}else{
        echo "can not connect to DSN: $dsn<br><br>";
