[PHP-DB] ODBC Tutorial suggestion? Was: RE: [PHP] PHP <-> SQL Server? From: Andrew Hill (ahill <email protected>)

Thanks Michael :)

Sure John, you can use our Multi-Tier Drivers just fine. Drop me an email
directly if you want pricing info or have architecture questions.

While we are on the topic of ODBC, I'd like to ask the PHP community for
some suggestions.

Namely, what examples do you want to see in PHP using ODBC? I'm rewriting
the ODBC-PHP howto, trying to be agnostic to driver, and want to give
several examples of useful things to do with ODBC once you've compiled.

So, fire away - I'll build a section if iodbc.org dedicated to PHP with
these specific tutorials.

Best regards,
Andrew
