I can successfully connect to the database using isql command from the shell. 
 But when I try to connect via php using the odbc_connect method and the same 
dsn, I get this: Fatal error: Call to undefined function odbc_connect() in 
/opt/lampp/htdocs/includes/db_login.inc on line 8

I installed PHP ODBC but I do not see any reference to odbc in the php-info() 
page.  I am wondering if the config files are in the wrong directory to be 
used by php.  They are in /etc as per the default install and online 
instructions.  But I also see that in XAMPP, the root directory is 
/opt/lampp.  So I don't know if I need to build them in the /opt/lampp/etc 
directory to make them work?

Also, when I put the extension=odbc.so directive in the php.ini in the 
/opt/lampp/etc directory I get an error starting and stopping XAMPP 
indicating that it cannot find that file.  But it does not error with that 
line in the php.ini in the /etc. directory.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
