This sort of thing is almost always due to the fact that your webserver runs
scripts under a different and much more privilege-limited environment than your
login user.
Some approaches:
(a) Modify permissions on the ODBC drivers and any related files (can't comment
what they may be, since I don't know what "Simba" is).
(b) If you're connecting via a DSN, check it's set up as a System DSN not a
User DSN - remember, you're running as a different user in the webserver.
(c) Set up a new account specifically for the webserver, so you can grant
specific privileges to it.
(d) Probably others depending on your exact situation.
