Just out of curiosity, how does ODBC Router differ from the other ODBC
bridge solutions out there?
Also, you should probably also provide PHP 5 diffs.

Hi,

• This patch enables PHP's ODBC extension on
  certain non-Windows platforms (Linux, Mac OS X,
  etc.) to transparently interact with any of the
  data sources listed in the SystemDSN property-tab
  of the "Data Sources (ODBC) Control Panel" on a
  networked Windows NT4/2K/XP box running our ODBC
  Router. Once installed, the PHP scripts will
  appear to be fully-supported Windows applications
  to virtually any data source while the data
  sources themselves, which may be on mainframe,
  mini, *NIX, Mac or Windows, will appear to be
  local to the PHP script. All database
  communication takes place transparently, via
  high-performance binary TCP/IP connections (not
  XML, TELNET, etc.) This technology was introduced
  in 1995 and the product system is in use by
  FORTUNE 500 companies and at sites across Asia,
  Canada, Europe, Oceania and the US.

• Once applied, support for ODBCRouter may be
  compiled into PHP 4.3 by simply adding
  "--with-ODBCRouter" to the configure command.
  The only pre-compile-time configuration required
  is to install our free runtime library. The only
  post-compile configuration required is to specify
  the IP address of the PC running ODBC Router in
  /etc/odbcrouter.conf (at which point, all DSNs on
  that PC may be referenced from within local PHP
  scripts).

• Currently, ODBC Router users with PHP 4.3.10
  on Linux-X86 follow these procedures:

rpm -ivh http://odbcrouter.com/m/linux-x86

rpm -qi iodbc.net (instructions)

• However, attached to this message are two patch
  files, one for the current 4.3.10 release (also
  distributed in the above RPM) and one for the
  current cvs release (as of the date of this
  message) for incorporation into the main-line code
  base.

• ODBC Router client components, such as the
  iodbc.net runtime library for Linux, are freely
  distributable. Interested parties may also
  download evaluation ODBC Router servers from
  http://odbcrouter.com/downloadns.shtml

• Official PHP developers and the first 100
  significant code contributors may receive a
  complimentary (no charge) ODBC Router server for
  their NT4/2K/XP box by e-mailing us with enough
  info for us to confirm their actual project
  participation.

Very Kind Regards,
August Software
