Question

How do you integrate Codeigniter 2.0.3 and Adodb?

Answer 1

try this example (done with a MSSQL db, but adjust it to your db) :

1. download the ADOdb library from :
   http://www.ciforge.com/trac/adodb/ or
   http://adodb.sourceforge.net/#download
2. Unzip the library to someplace on your server which can be called from your php pages

3. Connect using something like this:

   include('path/to/adodb/library/adodb/adodb.inc.php');      
   $db =& ADONewConnection('odbc_mssql');
   $dsn = "Driver={SQL Server};Server=localhost;Database=XXXX_dev;";
   
   $db->Connect($dsn,'username','password');
   $rs = $db->Execute('select * from table_name');
   
    while (!$rs->EOF) {           
        echo "loop: " . $rs->fields[5] . "<br>";
        $rs->MoveNext();       
    }
   
   $rs->Close();
   
   $rs->Close();
