Wow - thanks for doing all that investigative work Mohammed. I really
appreciate it !!

This was the key to the solution. I had used only the defaults for the
install, so the 32-bit option was *not* checked and *not* installed.
When I re-ran the installer to "modify" the install, I checked the 32-
bit option, and now the phpinfo() indicates that the SQLAnywhere
client is available.
Here is the relevant snippet from my phpinfo() output:
PHP SQLAnywhere driver version
- 2.0.10.0
SQLAnywhere client version
- 12.0.0.2483
I feel much more confident that I can continue now by myself and have
my PHP scripts connect to SQLAnywhere databases.
I would like to suggest that a note be added to the whitepaper I
referred to earlier, saying that even if you are installing on a
Windows 64-bit machine, you will need to install *both* the 32-bit and
the 64-bit versions of SQL Anywhere, i.e. override the default
"disabled" setting for 32-bit, if you wish to access the database
from PHP.
Finally, since my primary objective is to to test out SQL Anywhere
with IIS+PHP, I would like to know what is the minimum install I need
to achieve my goal. Do you know of any documentation on this point, or
could you tell me directly which of following installed options marked
"??" I can safely remove?
many thanks for all your fantastic help!
Gordon
