Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Where ever I use odbc_pconnect, or odbc_connect I get this error 'GetRegValue(): Unable to RegQueryValueEx() The operation completed successfully'.  I've taken everthing out of the script, the only thing the script does is 
lnk#=odbc_connect('dbname','someuser','someuser');

I'm using a w2k machine, and using the cgi version 4.3.2.

Thanks,

Steven

Works fine on my end.  Make sure you have a DSN defined and get rid of the lnk# 

sorry, I might to say $lnk=odbc_pconnect.

The odbc_pconnect and DSN are working, I get my data and stuff, I just get that error message.

Any ideas.

I have no idea why you're using the Registry, but this isn't an ODBC bug as far as I can tell.  Marking as bogus as I cannot reproduce the behavior on my machine locally (W2k).  

sorry, you said that I was using the Registry.  I don't understand.  I saw that artcile before I came here, and it didn't help me at all.  what do you mean using the registry.  Could it be something configured wrong.  I'm not trying to use the registry.  Like I said before, I just make a odbc_pconnect call and it comes back with that error message.

can anybody help?

don't reopen, its a bogus bug report.  If you want to help, contact php-general@lists.php.net, or contact Microsoft.

It's not bogus.  I'm getting the exact same error message.  The output from the PHP server has this message added onto the end:

GetRegValue(): Unable to RegQueryValueEx()The operation completed successfully.

I even turned off display_errors in the php.ini file.  This message comes up anyway.  There are no registry calls in my code.  It is apparently being called when the php engine connects to the ODBC data source.  Why does it ouput the error message to the browser window?
