Connecting to MS SQL 6.x+ via Openlink/PHP/ODBC mini-HOWTO: PHP

3. PHP

Now we have Openlink and can go to PHP compilation. Note for this version, PHP 3.0.10 or above is required to make things work.

From http://www.php.net, download php-3.0.11.tar.gz

Perform the following steps:


gzip -dc php-3.0.11.tar.gz|tar -xof -

cd php-3.0.11

./configure --with-openlink (--with-mysql --with-gd=/usr/local/gd1.3 --enable-track-vars)

    NOTE: My configuration is to run PHP as CGI mode, support mysql, 
          as well. Your configuration may be different.

make --silent

    NOTE: Don't mind if there are warning messages.

make install

These will install php executable into /usr/local/bin. Before you execute php, copy the library files under /usr/local/openlink/odbcsdk/lib into /usr/lib to make it easier for php to find openlink libraries (I know there are better methods).
