I was just browsing the error reports and came across this issue.  I had all kinds of problems getting Sybase SQLAnywhere to work with PHP and IIS.  I finally found a way to make it work.

I created an ODBC datasource that will only be used by PHP.  The datasource uses the DBCLIENT.exe instead of connect to the server of the local interface.  It is important that the datasource NOT BE CHECKED to automatically shut down when the last connection is closed.

I am running PHP as an ISAPI on IIS.  When the first PHP program makes a connection, the dbclient.exe is launched.  You can see it in the task list on the task manager.  If this app gets closed, then IIS will need to be restarted before it will reconnect correctly to the database.

Note:  I could not get a normal "local" odbc connection to work.  This must be an issue with the way IIS is managing its memory (probably to keep IIS apps securely away from other running apps).

Anyway, I hope this helps.
