如何使用 PHP 连接到 Sage 50 ODBC 数据库

Question

I'm attempting to export data from Sage 50 database. I have managed to create a connection to the database however whenever I perform a query I have the following error message.

Warning: odbc_exec(): SQLColAttribute can't handle SQL_DESC_OCTET_LENGTH : [S1C00] Driver not capable in C:... on line 4

I have Attempted to change the cursor to SQL_CUR_USE_CODE as suggested on PHP.net

I am also sure it is connecting as when I enter a table name that doesn't exist then I am receiving this error.

Warning: odbc_exec(): SQL error: Table not found, SQL state S0002 in SQLExecDirect in C:... on line 4

$conn = odbc_connect("TestDB", "Manager", "", SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC);
$sql="SELECT * FROM STOCK"; 
$result=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);

Thanks in advance

I was having a similar issue with ac# application, but my solution may have some pertinence here and I hate to see someone go through the stress that I did. Here's what I did to fix my issue:

1. In the ODBC Data Source Administrator, select your Pervasive ODBC Client Interface
2. Under Data Options select a database name associated with the data source of your CrystalReports.udl file. Make sure the Dictionary location is the Data directory for your company.
3. Make sure your select statement queries a table that are allowed by the crystal report eg Address, Audittr, etc. since not all tables can be queried through the Crystal reports.

Hope that helps!
