Apart from the typical PHP-Apache setup, there are two things to keep in mind:
  1. Ensure that the Linux system is set up to find the libraries that the ODBC driver requires.
    1. Add the <INSTALL-DIR>/Libs and <INSTALL-DIR>/ODBCDriver paths to the /etc/ld.so.conf file, where <INSTALL-DIR> is the location for the ODBC installation.
    2. The following commands should be executed to refresh the ld cache and restart the Apache web server: 
      $/sbin/ldconfig
$/etc/init.d/apachectl restart
  2. To make sure that the ODBCSYSINI environment variable is available when PHP calls are made, use the following line in your PHP code: 
    #given ODBCSYSINI is to be set to /etc then:
putenv("ODBCSYSINI=/etc")
You should not set up your own PHP or use /etc/init.d/apachectl on the queen for your own web pages.
