Hi,
I am not sure how to go about this. =( I think my problems are twofold.

problem 1. I have to connect to a progress database, for which there is
no built-in php
support. I have been looking at the unified ODBC functions, but progress
isn't
one of the supported dbs there either.

problem 2. the db is not specifically a web db. It is the clients'
production db that
is located on their facility and it is behind a firewall. I know I will
get a performance
hit with this setup, but I can live with this.

question 1: do I need a progress driver, or do the ODBC functions take
care of that?
question 2: is it possible for the db connection to get thru a firewall,
and then connect
            to a db?

TIA,
Craig
