Does anyone know if there is a PHP module for Sybase Active Server Edition (ASE), compatible with version 12.5 that will work with PHP 7+ since the removal of sybase_connect I'm struggling to find a driver and according to the documentation slqsrv needs MSSQL 2005+
I do have freeTDS installed, and have looked at PDO_DBLIB but it seems that it's not really coming recommended.
I'm running on Ubuntu Server LTS.
Plan B is it worth just trying to migrate my Script to something like Python -
please not Perl it screws with my head ;-)
THe ASE OpenClient SDK contains drivers for Perl, PHP and Python.You can get this either by downloading the full SDK from the SAP support website, but it may be easier to just download the ASE Express Edition from https://www.sap.com/community/topic/ase.html.
The connectivity drivers are located in $SYBASE/OCS_16-0.

In my work they have as a business core a database in informix, which limits the range of action in terms of web programming. Therefore the productive machines are in windows with PHP 5.2 for the compatibility with informix. The problem with this is that most PHP frameworks are migrating to PHP 7, and natively they are limited to Informix connections. The question is, can I install the pdo driver for Informix in PHP 7 with windows server?
ODBC Successful connection.
Solved!, with pre compilated dll in PHP 7.1 TS. Link to precompiled dll https://github.com/Aevis/php_pdo_informix . Thanks!!!!
I have installed the entire lamp stack with homebrew on my macbook pro. I am in need of getting the sybase module installed but am having the worst time trying to figure it out. I have done upteen google searches and read over the php.net section on sybase:
http://php.net/manual/en/sybase.installation.php
I have no clue when it says:
To enable Sybase-CT support configure PHP --with-sybase-ct[=DIR]
I was hoping to reach out to someone who has enabled/installed this on a mac or unix environment. Hope you can let me know the steps I need to run to get this up and running so I can use:
sybase_connect();
Thanks in advance.
You can also use FreeTDS to connect to Sybase from your Mac's PHP. Will be much easier than trying to configure the Sybase-CT library.
That section is asking for where on your system the Sybase installation is. To connect to a Sybase DB, you need to have either the client piece, SDK, or server piece installed on the local system.
The Sybase home directory includes the connection libraries that PHP is looking for.
I use php_oci8.dll in our application to access an Oracle 8 database server. I upgraded our PHP version from 5.3 to 5.6.5 and now there is no php_oci8.dll in the ext/ folder.
Can I just copy it from the old version?
php_oci8.dll is a very old library used with very old version of Oracle
Now there is a newer version for this library, like php_oci8_11g
The question is : what is the version of Oracle that you use ?
From http://php.net/manual/en/oci8.requirements.php
The OCI8 1.4 extension is included with PHP 5.3, PHP 5.4 and PHP 5.5. It is also available from PECL.
Read: not incliuded in PHP 5.6 (which is a good thing, not pulling in every single DB interface into the main tree)
Just download that stuff from PECL.
You might need to rebuild it from source, though, if whatever Oracle DB client Libraries you use don't match the needs of the OCI8 in its current version
EDIT: Don't do this, OP. Are you really using Oracle 8i? That has seen its last update in 2003 and should not be used for security reasons, any more. Seriously, how do you even run this on a modern Operating system? Or do you have a Windows XP machine running as a server exposed to the internet somewhere?!
I have few website in CakePHP 2.4, and have to upgrade its Mysql API to MariaDB API, I am wondering if CakePHP 2.4 support MariaDB natively? Or I have to install some extension for PHP, and change CakePHP a little bit, hope someone can give me some advice, thanks.
As I was googling, and I fond this - https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/, so their driver, API is same.
All MySQL connectors (PHP, Perl, Python, Java, .NET, MyODBC, Ruby, MySQL C connector etc) work unchanged with MariaDB.
There are some installation issues with PHP5 that you should be aware of (a bug in how the old PHP5 client checks library compatibility).
I am running a LAMP server but now need to connect to MS SQL (client request). I have heard Microsoft has a driver, but can't verify if
Does anyone know if the Microsoft driver is available for Unix? If not, should I just stick with FreeTDS? This appears to be recommended by PHP, however install documentation seems lacking. Any direction on either would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for the general question, I am not familiar with setting up PHP drivers.
UPDATE
Just for some back story, I am running an intranet from the LAMP server but needs to connect to a datasource on an external MS SQL DB Server (Windows of course). I am running PHP5.
FreeTDS is fine and works well enough. The Microsoft driver is Windows only, thus you wouldn't be able to use it on your Linux server.
First install FreeTDS and then configure PHP with --with-mssql=/prefix/used/for/freetds. If you are using your distribution's PHP, I'm sure there is a MS-SQL driver package already precompiled and available for installation (in Ubuntu, that'd be php5-sybase).
Then use PHP's mssql_* functions to actually do the work
For anyone who comes across this rather old question...
It should be noted that since 2010, Microsoft has actually developed a viable Linux driver for SQL Server that is installable via PECL. It's currently only compatible with PHP 7.
The main readme file is here, which lists some general and overly complicated installation instructions. But if you look at the latest release notes you will see that newer versions can be installed via PECL like so:
sudo pecl install sqlsrv
sudo pecl install pdo_sqlsrv
