[UPHPU] odbc and Informix

[Nathan Lane]

I don't have any specific experience with Informix and ODBC, but I do know
that the O in ODBC stands for OLE, which is a microsoft protocol allowing
programs to connect to each other. If you could learn how toconnect to OLE
objects using PHP, then you would be on your way. You might be able to watch
connections from other clients to Informix to see what kind of connection
string you would need to pass to odbc_connect.
