 I did search the tickets database and various documentation sources, but
 could not find anything that matches my request. If I missed it somehow, I
 do apologize.

 I know that php5-odbc is the currently supported module, however it does
 not seem to support "iODBC", but only "unixODBC". Since "iODBC" is what is
 installed on OS X by default, it would make sense to have the "iODBC"
 support. Also, because not all drivers are compatible with one project or
 the other. For instance, there does not appear to be a Sybase Driver
 compatible with unixODBC on the Mac OS X platform -- easySoft's seems to
 only support AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris. But there is an iODBC Sybase
 Driver for OS X developed by ActualTechnologies.

 In short, it would be nice to have a module something like:
   php5-iodbc
 and
   php5-unixodbc

 Or perhaps be able to pass a flag or parameter like:
   php5-odbc [+iodbc    |    +unixodbc]

 I have only noticed the inability to use iODBC with the macports php5
 build since the latest update to php 5.3. I have not tried the "devel"
 version because this option is needed on a production server that I'm
 doing setup for at the moment.

 Thanks!!!
