I have a strange problem. My server has been running PHP 5.6 for years no problem. (WinServer Std 2K8 SP2, IIS 6, MySQL 5.6 {separate server}, PHP 5.6)
We connect it to a DB2 server at our parent company. Today (2017-02-14) the ODBC connection (PDO_ODBC) started returning "could not find driver".
Excel is able to use the same ODBC connection to query the database - the ODBC connection is working.
I tried using both the PDO method and procedural method to connect. Failures in seeing the driver both ways.
From phpinfo()
:
ODBC Data
PDO Data
Code snippet:
$dsn = "odbc:workingODBCdsn";
$user = "xxxx";
$password = "yyyy";
$conn = null;
$results = array();
try {
$conn = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);
} catch (PDOException $e) {
die($e->getMessage());
}
if ($conn) {
$qry = $conn->query($sql);
if ($qry) {
$qry->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
foreach ($qry as $row) {
$results[] = $row;
}
}
}
print "<pre>" . print_r($results, true) . "</pre>";
//ALT Method
$conn = odbc_connect($dsn, $user, $password);
$results = odbc_exec($conn, $sql);
print "<pre>" . print_r($results, true) . "</pre>";
Thanks in advance for any help.
