I just installed PHP 5.1.4 with SQL Server 2005 on my laptop. PHP is
running fine and so is SQL Server 2005. When I try to connect to SQL
Server from my my PHP code I get this error.

Warning: odbc_connect() [function.odbc-connect]: SQL error:
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no
default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 5

Here's my connection string that is causing the error

$connect_id = odbc_connect("Driver={SQL
Server};Server=mydbname;Database=myDB","myUser", "myPass");


Any idea what's wrong? This is driving me nutts.. I installed PHP on my
computer at home and had no problem connecting to SQL Server. It's like
this laptop is cursed.
