Re: Still trying to access iSeries database with PHP

Kelly,

maybe change $odbc above to match $conn_ODBC below
i.e.  $conn_ODBC = odbc_connect("mysystem","myusername","mypassword") or
die("Couldn't define connection");

$res400 = odbc_columns($conn_ODBC, "mysystem",
$libname, $filename, "%") or die(odbc_errormsg());
