    This document discusses how to connect to a database using ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) in PHP. It explains that ODBC allows connecting to any database as long as an ODBC driver is available. It provides steps to create an ODBC connection to a Microsoft Access database, and notes that the configuration must be done on the web server computer. It then explains how to connect to the ODBC data source using odbc_connect(), execute SQL statements using odbc_exec(), retrieve records using odbc_fetch_row(), fields using odbc_result(), and close the connection using odbc_close(). It provides an example demonstrating these functions to connect, select data, and display it in

    PHP Database ODBC

    ODBC is an Application Programming Interface (API) that allows you to connect to a


    data source (e.g. an MS Access database).

    Create an ODBC Connection

    With an ODBC connection, you can connect to any database, on any computer in your network, as
    long as an ODBC connection is available.

    Here is how to create an ODBC connection to a MS Access Database: 

    1. Open the Administrative Tools icon in your Control Panel.


    2. Double-click on the Data Sources (ODBC) icon inside.
    3. Choose the System DSN tab.
    4. Click on Add in the System DSN tab.
    5. Select the Microsoft Access Driver. Click Finish.
    6. In the next screen, click Select to locate the database.
    7. Give the database a Data Source Name (DSN).
    8. Click OK.

    Note that this configuration has to be done on the computer where your web site is located. If you
    are running Internet Information Server (IIS) on your own computer, the instructions above will
    work, but if your web site is located on a remote server, you have to have physical access to that
    server, or ask your web host to to set up a DSN for you to use.

    Connecting to an ODBC

    The odbc_connect() function is used to connect to an ODBC data source. The function takes four
    parameters: the data source name, username, password, and an optional cursor type.

    The odbc_exec() function is used to execute an SQL statement.

    Example

    The following example creates a connection to a DSN called


    northwind, with no username and no password. It then creates an
    SQL and executes it:

    $conn=odbc_connect('northwind','','');
    $sql="SELECT * FROM customers";
    $rs=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);

    Retrieving Records

    The odbc_fetch_rows() function is used to return records from the result-set. This function returns
    true if it is able to return rows, otherwise false.

    31-1
    The function takes two parameters: the ODBC result identifier and an
    optional row number:

    odbc_fetch_row($rs)

    Retrieving Fields from a Record

    The odbc_result() function is used to read fields from a record. This function takes two
    parameters: the ODBC result identifier and a field number or name.

    The code line below returns the value of the first field from the
    record:

    $compname=odbc_result($rs,1);

    The code line below returns the value of a field called


    "CompanyName":

    $compname=odbc_result($rs,"CompanyName");

    Closing an ODBC Connection

    The odbc_close() function is used to close an ODBC connection.

    odbc_close($conn);

    An ODBC Example

    The following example shows how to first create a database


    connection, then a result-set, and then display the data in an HTML
    table.

    <html>
    <body>
    <?php
    $conn=odbc_connect('northwind','','');
    if (!$conn)
    {exit("Connection Failed: " . $conn);}
    $sql="SELECT * FROM customers";
    $rs=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);
    if (!$rs)
    {exit("Error in SQL");}
    echo "<table><tr>";
    echo "<th>Companyname</th>";
    echo "<th>Contactname</th></tr>";
    while (odbc_fetch_row($rs))
    {
    $compname=odbc_result($rs,"CompanyName");

    31-2
    $conname=odbc_result($rs,"ContactName");
    echo "<tr><td>$compname</td>";
    echo "<td>$conname</td></tr>";
    }
    odbc_close($conn);
    echo "</table>";
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>
