I'm running WAMP 2.5 with PHP 5.5.12. I'm trying to use odbc_connect to connect to a FoxPro database and eventually query for certain records. But then I realized that dbase is no longer maintained which would of allowed me to access the records for dbf databases. So I tried using ODBC with this code:
<?php
$dsn = "Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};SourceType=DBF;SourceDB=C:\wamp\www\chartnames.dbf;Exclusive=NO;collate=Machine;NULL=NO;DELETED=NO;BACKGROUNDFETCH=NO;";
$conn = odbc_connect($dsn, "", "");
if (!$conn)
exit("Connection Failed: " .$conn );
//select rows
$rs = odbc_exec($conn, 'SELECT * FROM chartnames');
//display the results
$string = odbc_result_all($rs);
?>
But when I run this code I get an error message:
If you can't read the error is says this:
Warning:odbc_connect(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager]
Driver does not support this function, SQL state IM001 in SQL Connect
I looked up ODBC on php.net I found that only certain databases are supported by the Unified ODBC functions: Adabas D, IBM DB2, iODBC, Solid, and Sybase SQL Anywhere.
Is it possible to connect and query a .dbf FoxPro table with the new versions of PHP? or
Thank you in advance.
UPDATE:
I know that the ODBC driver is no longer supported so they offer OLEDB. I found the OLEDB connection string from here. So I tried replacing the $dsn variable with this connection string: Provider=vfpoledb.1;Data Source=c:\directory\demo.dbc;Collating Sequence=machine but I get the same error as stated above. What gives?

I tried connect IBM database through PDO using below code. But, it is not working
try {
$db = new PDO("odbc:DRIVER={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER};DATABASE=BLUDB;HOSTNAME=hostname;PORT=50000;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;", "username", "password");
echo "<pre>";
print_r($db);
exit;
} catch (PDOException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
I got below error for the same
SQLSTATE[IM002] SQLDriverConnect: 0 [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
I have also added below code in php.ini file
extension=php_pdo.dll
extension=php_pdo_ibm.dll
extension=php_ibm_db2.dll
Could anyone suggest me, how I can connect with IBM database?
The DSN prefix for DB2 databases is ibm:, not odbc:. Try changing that.
Here is the example connection string given in the documentation:
$db = new PDO("ibm:DRIVER={IBM DB2 ODBC DRIVER};DATABASE=testdb;" .
"HOSTNAME=11.22.33.444;PORT=56789;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;", "testuser", "tespass");
there is different driver name for some computer, this is the list of driver you can try:
DRIVER={iSeries Access ODBC Driver};
DRIVER={IBM i Access ODBC Driver};
and try to use System instead of HOSTNAME
DRIVER={iSeries Access ODBC Driver};DATABASE=BLUDB;System=hostname;PORT=50000;PROTOCOL=TCPIP;
oh, and I'm using DRIVER={IBM i Access ODBC Driver};
My php cannot find my odbc driver. I've downloaded and re-installed multiple times. Can anyone help me with this error:
QLSTATE[IM002] SQLDriverConnect: 0 [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data
source name not found and no default driver specified"
Here is my php code:
$dbName = "C:\Users\David\Documents\SCHOOLNEW\Assignment5-PROG1800\database\as4.mdb";
if (!file_exists($dbName))
{
die("Could not find database file.");
}
try
{
// Connect
$dbh = new PDO("odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb, *.accdb)};Dbq=C:\Users\David\Documents\SCHOOLNEW\Assignment5-PROG1800\database\as4.mdb;Uid=Admin");
// INSERT data
$count = $dbh->exec("INSERT INTO part(vendorNo,description,onHand,onOrder,cost,listPrice) VALUES ('$vendorNo', '$desc', '$onHand', '$onOrder', '$cost', '$listPrice')");
// echo the number of affected rows
echo $count;
// close the database connection
$dbh = null;
}
catch(PDOException $e)

echo $e->getMessage();

I'm running php with apache on xampp. This all on a local machine. My system is 64 bits. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the system and drive types or my syntax or certain drivers I need to install. I just want to insert data from my form into the database on my computer.
Driver={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb, *.accdb)}
is not a valid ODBC driver name because it is missing a space. The correct name for the newer "ACE" ODBC driver is
Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)}
However, in this case PHP is running in the 32-bit environment and trying to open an .mdb database so the older "Jet" ODBC driver ...
Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}
... will work, too.
Can you place the path after escaping the slashes and then try:-
$dbName = "C:\\Users\\David\\Documents\\SCHOOLNEW\\Assignment5-PROG1800\\database\\as4.mdb";
Escape the slashes in all the paths you have provided in the code and then try.
I'm trying to connect to an odbc database via php's PDO class:
$dsn = 'odbc:CS_HDZipCodes32bit';
$username = 'demo';
$password = 'skdemo!';
$connection = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password);
die( var_dump( $connection ) );
but when I do, I get the error :
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'could not find driver' in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\pdoClass.php:7 Stack trace: #0 C:\inetpub\wwwroot\pdoClass.php(7): PDO->__construct('odbc:CS_HDZipCo...', 'demo', 'skdemo!') #1 {main} thrown in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\pdoClass.php on line 7
The $dsn value is the name of the DSN I created in my ODBC Manager.
I know this particular DSN works because I was able to build another demo file and connect successfully via odbc_connect:
$connection = odbc_connect("CS_HDZipCodes32bit", 'demo', 'skdemo!');
if(!$connection){
die('connection failed');
}
$statement = "SELECT * FROM ZipCodes";
$result = odbc_exec($connection, $statement);
// Outputs the zips as expected
var_dump(odbc_result_all($result));
I've been digging through the PDO-ODBC documentation as well as other resources online, but I can't figure out why PHP is unable to find the driver when trying from PDO.
Any ideas?
Update
I popped open my phpinfo page to make sure the odbc driver is installed per Marc B's comment:
It looks like the driver is installed unless this is a different driver.
Another Update
On further inspection of my phpini per Marc B's additional comment, it looks like I don't have the POD ODBC specific driver installed:
So here, if I had the ODBC driver for pdo installed, odbc would be at the end of the list, correct?
After getting some great help from Marc B in the initial question's comments it turns out the problem was coming from my misunderstanding of enabling odbc on my web server and having the pdo_odbc driver installed.
While I did have odbc enabled on the web server, I did not have the odbc driver installed for PDO.
This driver is necessary to be able to access odbc databases via pdo.
Per the php.net documentation on installing pdo for windows, the driver was already included in the php build (I'm using version 5.5) and just needed to be included in the php.ini file.
After adding the driver and restarting the server I now had the driver loaded:
and my test query using PDO on my demo database worked:
$dsn = 'odbc:CS_HDZipCodes32bit';
$username = 'demo';
$password = 'skdemo!';
$connection = new PDO($dsn, $username, $password);
$query = "Select * FROM ZipCodes";
$result = $connection->query($query);
foreach($result as $row){
var_dump($row);
}
Dumps out:
Thanks for your help Marc B.
I am trying to connect php with ms sql server in lamp environment.
$con = new PDO('odbc:Driver=FreeTDS; Server=HOST; Database=TWO; UID=sa; PWD=123456789;');
I go through like 100+ suggestion.Nothing works ,
all i get is a BIG and SAME Error SQLSTATE[IM002] SQLDriverConnect: 0 [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Can anyone please give a working example, they might tried already.
If you have freeTDS installed try one of the following connection string it works for me:
$db = new PDO("sqlsrv:Server=YouAddress;Database=YourDatabase", "Username", "Password");
$dbh = new PDO ("dblib:host=$hostname:$port;dbname=$dbname","$username","$pw");//if using dblib
$driver = "HANADB";
$servername = "sercername";
$schema = "schemaname";
$username = "user";
$password = "XXXX";
$conn=odbc_connect("Driver={HANADB};Server=$servername;Schema=$db_name;",
$username, $password);}
I am using an odbc connection to try and connect to my hana schema. However, when i connect I get the following message
Warning: odbc_connect(): SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source
name not found and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in
I am not really sure as to where I am going wrong.
Did you install HANA clients already? Look here for some reference
If the HANA client is installed, the ODBC drivers are automatically added to your host.
May be you want to use the optional parameter cursor_type = SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC ??
Check: http://php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-connect.php
$conn = odbc_connect("", "", "", SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC);
Make sure you are using the 32bit ODBC Administrator to create your connection.
The 32bit ODBC admin is run from C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
The 64bit ODBC admin is run from C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe
The 32 bit driver will show up in the list of available drivers as HDBODBC32.
Follow HANA Academy - Installing the 32bit HANA Client for more detailed explanation
