How do I use PHP under Apache 2.0.x with OOB on Irix?

The Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge (OOB) lets you access ODBC databases such as Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server from PHP/Apache. To use the OOB with PHP under Apache 2.0.x on Irix, please note the following:

Apache 2.0.x builds with threads, but by default PHP does not. To build PHP with threads, add -lpthread to LDFLAGS before configuring PHP.
Configure and build PHP as normal, the unixODBC configure line is:
```
./configure --with-unixODBC=shared,/usr/local/easysoft/unixODBC
```
unixODBC needs to be built with threads, but the version that ships with the OOB is not built threaded. To build a threaded unixODBC, download the source from ftp://ftp.easysoft.com/pub/unixODBC. Unzip and untar the distribution file, and then configure, build and install unixODBC by running:
```
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/easysoft/unixODBC --sysconfdir=/etc
   --enable-threads=yes --enable-drivers=no --enable-iconv=no
   --enable-stats=no --enable-gui=no
make
make install
```

You need to make sure that you specify the thread-safe OOB client driver ("OOB_r") in your data sources. To do this, use "OOB_r" as the value for the Driver entry in your data sources in odbc.ini. For example:

[demo]
Driver          = OOB_r
Description             = Easysoft ODBC-ODBC Bridge demo data source
SERVERPORT              = demo.easysoft.com:8888
TARGETDSN               = pubs
LOGONUSER               = demo
LOGONAUTH               = easysoft
TargetUser              = demo
TargetAuth              = easysoft

Ensure that the web server process can find the Easysoft libraries. The simplest way of doing this is to copy (or sym-link) the libraries into the Apache lib directory:

cp /usr/local/easysoft/lib/libesrpc_r.so /usr/local/apache2/lib/
cp /usr/local/easysoft/lib/libessupp_r.so /usr/local/apache2/lib/
cp /usr/local/easysoft/lib/libesextra_r.so /usr/local/apache2/lib/
cp /usr/local/easysoft/lib/libeslicshr_r.so /usr/local/apache2/lib/
