Well, you could put apostrophes or quotes around it and get rid of the
PHP Notice, and that would be syntactically correct for PHP.
What it would mean to MERANT ODBC, though, I dunno...
Though what you currently have, with lower-case, will be THE SAME to
MERANT ODBC as adding the quotes, because that's what PHP is doing for
you, and that's what the Notice is all about.
Translation:
PHP: You were supposed to put quotes on that sql_cur_use_odbc thing,
but you didn't, so I did it for you.
But this is probably NOT going to make things actually work as you
expect.
What happens next is that PHP has to convert your string
"sql_cur_use_odbc" into a number. And that number will be 0.
So then MERANT ODBC gets the integer 0 as that 4th argument.
Which is probably NOT the number you want to send it to actually turn
on this SQL CUR USE ODBC thingie, whatever that is.
SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC is almost for sure an integer.
You could see what it is by doing:
echo "SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC has the value: ", SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC, "<hr />\n";
in your code.
If it's not 0, then adding quotes to suppress the PHP Notice is only
masking a symptom, not fixing the real problem.
I guess we'd need to know what your queries are, and if I had some
clue what SQL_CUR_USE_ODBC was supposed to be doing, it would help...
Hopefully somebody else can chime in on this part.
