===== Description =====


This driver is based on the 3rd party windows only [[http://odbtp.sourceforge.net/|ODBTP]] extension for PHP. The current status and reliablility of this driver is unknown. Windows client DLL for PHP versions 5.6 thru 7 are available [[https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=6359|Here]]

The server portion of the ODBTP connection does not run on any modern Windows Versions (Windows XP/ Server 2000 is the last supported OS). Because of this, the driver will be removed in ADOdb Version 6.
