ODBC connection error for fetching value from MSsql to MYsql

[dhruvpandit]

website hosted on cPanel, owner of site requires information from a remote MS access database which user has username/password and hostname/ip address for.



I assume I have to install some modules into EasyApache, and therefore enable some access for remote services yes/no ?

i have mysql db on centos cpanel,
and want to fetch database values from other server which has MSsql DB.

now, dont know what to enable in whm and what to do on other (MSsql ) server

my server's IP is whitelisted on other server, but still its not working.



Any and all suggestion would be gratefuly received.


progress :

i have installed unixODBC and freeTDS .
now i am very confusing about configuring them.
i am getting this error via my current configs

here is my php file code

$user = 'USERNAME';
$pass = 'PASSWORD';
$conn = odbc_connect($dsn, $user, $pass);
if($conn){
echo "I got it!.";
}
 $sql="Select * From View_Cities";
$rs=odbc_exec($conn,$sql);
if (!$rs)
  {exit("Error in SQL");}
echo "<table><tr>";
echo "<th>FilmId</th>";
echo "<th>FilmName</th></tr>";
while (odbc_fetch_row($rs))
  {
  $FilmId=odbc_result($rs,"CityId");
  $FilmName=odbc_result($rs,"CityName");
  echo "<tr><td>$FilmId</td>";
  echo "<td>$FilmName</td></tr>";
  }
odbc_close($conn);
echo "</table>";


?>

AND here is the output @ my centos cPanel server
