How do I install PHP PDO ODBC drivers on CentOS 7?

Question

I already have PHP 5.4 installed in a CentOS 7 VPS. I am trying now to access a legacy database in .mdb format with a PHP script.

However, my phpinfo() page says that only mysql and sqlite PDO drivers are enabled. No driver named ODBC is enabled.

Which is why I have tried to follow this tutorial to get that to work. But it doesn't work. bash: ./configure: No such file or directory.

I don't know from which folder I have to run the commands listed there. Is there a command which will allow me to install the PDO ODBC drivers from the system e.g. yum -y install php_odbc which would be easier for me to work with? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Solution

Looks like php_odbc is one of CentOS 7 packages. See http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/ it is a very long list.

So yum -y install php_odbc should work. Just don't forget to restart your web-server if required.

You would run ./configure ... if you were compiling PHP from source. It will not work in your case.

yum -y install php-odbc #worked on our device. php_odbc failed.
