To connect to SAP ByDesign, you can use either a DSN or an ODBC connection string. Both of these methods use the odbc_connect function.

Connect to a DSN

To connect using a DSN:

$cnx = odbc_connect("CData SAPByDesign Sys", "", "");

Provide a Driver Connection String

To connect using an ODBC connection string:

$cnx = odbc_connect("DRIVER={CData ODBC Driver for SAP ByDesign};URL=https://my999999.businessbydesign.cloud.sap;User=username;Password=password;ServiceType=AnalyticsService;ServiceName=servicename;", "", "");
