PHP odbc_connect() Undefined function

Question

I wanted to connect a SQL database to my PHP file, but when I run the odbc_connect function, it gives an error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function odbc_connect()

This is my code:

$connection = odbc_connect('MyDatabaseName', 'MyUsername', 'MyPassword');

I removed the tag since this is not related to the SQL _language_. You can add a tag for the dbms used instead. — jarlh, Aug 10 '21 at 06:39

try using this:

Linux systems based on debian/ubuntu

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install php-odbc

Linux systems based on redhat/centos

yum update
dnf install php-odbc

Right after if you are using nginx:

systemctl restart nginx

Or if not, if you are using apache:

systemctl restart apache2

Or use:

systemctl restart your-program
