PHPRunner General questions

Will PHP Runner run on a AIX server? I read in some older post that it will only run on a windows based server, and our IT department is running into road blocks of various sorts. Wondering if anyone has been successfull in this area, or know of any tips and tricks that might help us out.

Isn't the pertinent question whether PhP will run on an AIX server?

Code generated by PHPRunner will run on any PHP-enabled web server. PHPRunner itself runs on Windows only.

Our SQL database runs on one server and the application (PHP-website) runs on another. A communication problem occurs between the two and we are now trying to convert the language to ODBC, and not having much luck. Our programmer is telling us there is no translation for a few strings of code..
Wondering if anyone else has set up a site in a similar function with similar success. if you have more questions i can ask them on as they come and get back to you all.

wildwally,
I recommend to have your programmer contact support directly. "convert the language to ODBC" doesn't really saying anything. We need some specifics.

from the prgrammer:

My understanding was that due to some issue on their server (can't remember what it was) the PHP MSSQL drivers could not be installed. This affects the ability to use several php functions to access the sql database, such as mssql_connect, mssql_query, mssql_execute, mssql_fetch_object and lots of others. The Easysoft workaround enabled connection via ODBC drivers instead of MSSQL drivers. I made several changes to the dbconnection file to try and make this work, but ran into a problem that I could not get past with the odbc_fetch_array function as it does not work the same as the mssql_fetch_array function. Mssql_fetch_array allows you to define associative and numerically indexed arrays, while odbc_fetch_array will only work with associative arrays.

Wally, stop wasting your time and get yourself a new server - one that can't run simple PhP is a liability not an asset. They're a dime a dozen these days, so the sooner the better for you.
