Hi,

here at work we do have a Sybase-Database running on an SCO-UNIX-Server.

What do I need to do (install/configure) to be able to access that database from our webserver running SuSE-Linux 6.4 with apache 1.3.12 and PHP4.0?

Could maybe somebody point me into the right direction where I could find these informations?

TIA

Michael

Michael,

You'll need to download the Sybase Open Client libraries for the platform that your server is running on. I know that there is a Linux version of Open Client, I'm not sure if there is one for your flavor of Linux (I know that there is one for Red Hat. Go to the Sybase Linux page (http://linux.sybase.com). You can download the stuff from there.

After that it's just a matter of making sure that the interfaces file info is setup correctly on your web server machine to get to your DB server machine.
