                    Hi
I'm trying to make a connection from a Navision 3.56 database to a website through ODBC and PHP.
I've managed to create a System DSN and tested it with MS Excel XP and it works fine.
But when i try to connect to my SystemDSN using PHP nothing happens... :?:
no error message. It just takes forever to load the webpage into IE and eventually it is timed out.
Here's my PHP code:
<?php
$db = odbc_connect("SysNavi","",""); // password and user not defined
$SQLresult = odbc_do($db, "SELECT Nummer, Navn FROM Kreditor");
While (odbc_fetch_row($SQLresult))
{
$num = odbc_result($SQLresult,1);
$name = odbc_result($SQLresult,2);
echo "number: " + $num + "name: " + $name;
}
odbc_close($db);
?>
any help would be appreciated....

            Well here I am replying to my self. But I found the answer so I think it's fair... 
 The reason that it wouldn't work is because the Navision 3.56 ODBC requeres access to the system32 folder! Once I had allowed this, the query succeded and I got my result.

            Hello,
 I need an acces from our WebPage (ISP server, PHP, FreeBSD) to the Navision database (a server in our company, Win2000, Navi 3.56). Will it work :?: :?: :?: I cannot check it because I do not have an ODBC driver :? . So, I ask you before I ask my boss to pay for the ODBC driver . .
 Thx for help,

            Hello Rafal,
 I haven't tried using PHP from one computer running FreeBSD to access a database on a Win2000 server, so my reply is based on a qualified guess... :!:
 It's not straight forward as I see it because you cannot directly access the ODBC driver on a win2000 from FreeBSD. The ODBC needs to be on your FreeBSD computer and I don't know of any Unix ODBC driver to Navision...
 So my "solution" is this:
 1. install Navision 3.56 ODBC on Win2000
 2. install an ODBC socket server on Win2000, thereby making an interface to the FreeBSD server to connect to. Here's a link to ODBC socket server:
 http://odbcsock.sourceforge.net/
 3. connect to the socket server from PHP/FreeBSD. This could be tricky... :?
 Hope this helps your decision!

            Hello im from denmark.
 Are you using Naviosion 3.56a or do you have it lying around somewhere? I really need a license for it, because my license to 3.55 is not working in 3.56, and i cant buy it anywhere.
 It would be trufully nice of you, if you could help me..
