    Example #2 PDO_INFORMIX DSN example using a connection string

    To work properly, the DSN connection string must not have line breaks.

    <?php

    $conexion     = new PDO("informix:host=host.domain.com; service=9800;
    database=common_db; server=ids_server; protocol=onsoctcp;
    EnableScrollableCursors=1"    , "testuser", "tespass");

    $sql = "SELECT * FROM test";
    $prep = $conexion->prepare($sql);
    $prep->execute();
    $result = $prep->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

    var_dump($result);

    ?>
