About IIS problem

[skatwal]

I have come to a problem when configuring PHP in IIS 7.0.

I somewhat, managed to configure PHP in windows vista but it cannot execute odbc_connect function. Does anyone know how to solve this problem ? I might wondering does IIS 7.0 support odbc function ?

Thanks in advance,

Hello skatwal,

You may want to check out PHP.NET, and ask the question there. ... that would be more of a "Coding / Scripting" error you are having its not an actual computer/software problem ... other then updating the PHP you are running ... make sure the functions in the code is done properly and it should work perfectly ... also instead of IIS you can try downloading a apache/php server and see if that works any better ..

let me know how you make out ..

Hello CorMit, 

Thanks for replying. Since IIS supports both ASP.NET and PHP,I do not want to install Apache on my machine because I have to work both on ASP.NET and PHP.  I had no problem when I was working on Windows XP.

Actually i want to downgrade to windows XP, since windows Vista has lot of bugs on it. I am getting blue screen of death when I was trying to install windows XP on my laptop. So, is there any solution to remove windows vista and install windows XP on my laptop ?

Hoping to get a perfect solution.

the blue screen is reguarding the sata driver isn't it? ... you will need to post more info about the notebook product/serial/model numbers ..

and the IIS works fine in vista (i have personally tested.. not all php functions of course) but try updating the php version to the newest one from PHP.NET (php's main site) and that should fix that function and give you more function compatibility

Hello CorMIT,

I was able to run odbc_connect function in PHP. This is due to I was configuring odbc for 64bit version.(Start - Run - odbcad32)

To configure odbc in 32 version is to run odbcad32 in %windir%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe.Now, everything works fine.
