odbc_setoption - Adjust ODBC settings

SYNOPSIS

       bool odbc_setoption (resource  $id, int	$function, int	$option, int  $param)

DESCRIPTION

	This  function	allows fiddling with the ODBC options for a particular connection or query result. It was written to help find work around
       to problems in quirky ODBC drivers. You should probably only use this function if you are an ODBC programmer and understand the effects the
       various	options will have. You will certainly need a good ODBC reference to explain all the different options and values that can be used.
       Different driver versions support different options.

	Because the effects may vary depending on the ODBC driver, use of this function in scripts to be made publicly available is strongly  dis-
       couraged.  Also,  some ODBC options are not available to this function because they must be set before the connection is established or the
       query is prepared. However, if on a particular job it can make PHP work so your boss doesn't tell you to use a commercial  product,  that's
       all that really matters.

PARAMETERS

	      o $id
		- Is a connection id or result id on which to change the settings. For SQLSetConnectOption(), this is a connection id. For SQLSet-
		StmtOption(), this is a result id.

	      o $function
		- Is the ODBC function to use. The value should be 1 for SQLSetConnectOption() and 2 for SQLSetStmtOption().

	      o $option
		- The option to set.

	      o $param
		- The value for the given $option.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      odbc_setoption(3) examples

	      <?php
	      // 1. Option 102 of SQLSetConnectOption() is SQL_AUTOCOMMIT.
	      //    Value 1 of SQL_AUTOCOMMIT is SQL_AUTOCOMMIT_ON.
	      //    This example has the same effect as
	      //    odbc_autocommit($conn, true);

	      odbc_setoption($conn, 1, 102, 1);

	      // 2. Option 0 of SQLSetStmtOption() is SQL_QUERY_TIMEOUT.
	      //    This example sets the query to timeout after 30 seconds.

	      $result = odbc_prepare($conn, $sql);
	      odbc_setoption($result, 2, 0, 30);
	      odbc_execute($result);
	      ?>

odbc_connect - Connect to a datasource

SYNOPSIS

       resource odbc_connect (string  $dsn, string  $user, string  $password, [int  $cursor_type])

DESCRIPTION

	The  connection id returned by this functions is needed by other ODBC functions. You can have multiple connections open at once as long as
       they either use different db or different credentials.

	With some ODBC drivers, executing a complex stored procedure may fail with an error similar to: "Cannot open a cursor on a  stored  proce-
       dure  that  has anything other than a single select statement in it". Using SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC may avoid that error. Also, some drivers don't
       support the optional row_number parameter in odbc_fetch_row(3). SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC might help in that case, too.

PARAMETERS

	      o $dsn
		- The database source name for the connection. Alternatively, a DSN-less connection string can be used.

	      o $user
		- The username.

	      o $password
		- The password.

	      o $cursor_type
		- This sets the type of cursor to be used for this connection. This parameter is not normally needed, but can be useful for  work-
		ing around problems with some ODBC drivers.  The following constants are defined for cursortype:

		     o SQL_CUR_USE_IF_NEEDED

		     o SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC

		     o SQL_CUR_USE_DRIVER

RETURN VALUES

	Returns an ODBC connection or ( FALSE) on error.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      DSN-less connections

	      <?php
	      // Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Native Client 10.0 ODBC Driver - allows connection to SQL 7, 2000, 2005 and 2008
	      $connection = odbc_connect("Driver={SQL Server Native Client 10.0};Server=$server;Database=$database;", $user, $password);

	      // Microsoft Access
	      $connection = odbc_connect("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=$mdbFilename", $user, $password);

	      // Microsoft Excel
	      $excelFile = realpath('C:/ExcelData.xls');
	      $excelDir = dirname($excelFile);
	      $connection = odbc_connect("Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DriverId=790;Dbq=$excelFile;DefaultDir=$excelDir" , '', '');
	      ?>
