Informix ClientSDK on freeBSD

Hi,

I've read the limited information there are on Internet about this theme and some people say that this work should be done with SCO OpenServer CSDK (IBM - Informix Client Software Development Kit - System requirements for SCO - OpenServer) plus the binary emulation of CSO and others that it should be done with the Linux CSDK.

- Which option do you consider better?
- Using SCO CSDK, where the binary emulation is?
- Using Linux CSDK, which Linux (IBM Software - Informix product family - Informix CSDK for Linux)?

The goal of this is to be able to use unixODBC to handle connections. If you know a better option, please tell me.

I appreciate any help you can give me
Thanks in advance...

IFX_CONNECT(3)								 1							    IFX_CONNECT(3)

ifx_connect - Open Informix server connection

SYNOPSIS

       resource ifx_connect ([string  $database], [string  $userid], [string  $password])

DESCRIPTION

       ifx_connect(3) establishes a connection to an Informix server.

	In case a second call is made to ifx_connect(3) with the same arguments, no new link will be established, but instead, the link identifier
       of the already opened link will be returned.

	The link to the server will be closed as soon as the execution of the script ends,  unless  it's  closed  earlier  by  explicitly  calling
       ifx_close(3).

PARAMETERS

	All  of  the  arguments are optional, and if they're missing, defaults are taken from values supplied in php.ini (ifx.default_host for the
       host (Informix libraries will use INFORMIXSERVER environment value if not defined), ifx.default_user for user, ifx.default_password for the
       password (none if not defined).

	      o $database
		- The database name, as a string.

	      o $userid
		- The username, as a string.

	      o $password
		- The password, as a string.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a connection identifier on success, or FALSE on error.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Connect to a Informix database

	      <?php
	      $conn_id = ifx_connect ("mydb@ol_srv1", "imyself", "mypassword");
	      ?>
