In asp you can set up an odbc connection specifying the direct path to the database or a DNS-less connection telling the server to map it for you.  Can you set up a DNS-less connection with PHP?  If so can someone send a typical connection string set for it?


the real qusetion is what type of database are you trying to connect to??

odbc w/ php is a little tricky...
