Natively Connect to ElevenLabs Data in PHP

Drop the CData ODBC Driver for ElevenLabs into your LAMP or WAMP stack to build ElevenLabs-connected Web applications. This article shows how to use PHP's ODBC built-in functions to connect to ElevenLabs data, execute queries, and output the results.

Configure a DSN

If you have not already, first specify connection properties in an ODBC DSN (data source name). This is the last step of the driver installation. You can use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator to create and configure ODBC DSNs.

To authenticate to ElevenLabs, and connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data, you can use API Key authentication.

Authentication

To authenticate to ElevenLabs, and connect to your own data or to allow other users to connect to their data, you can use API Key authentication.

Using API Key Authentication

To authenticate using an API Key, you need to obtain your API Key from your ElevenLabs account settings.

You can then connect by setting the AuthScheme to APIKey and providing your API key:

• AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
• APIKey: Set this to your API key from ElevenLabs.

Establish a Connection

Open the connection to ElevenLabs by calling the odbc_connect or odbc_pconnect methods. To close connections, use odbc_close or odbc_close_all.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC API Source","user","password");

Connections opened with odbc_connect are closed when the script ends. Connections opened with the odbc_pconnect method are still open after the script ends. This enables other scripts to share that connection when they connect with the same credentials. By sharing connections among your scripts, you can save system resources, and queries execute faster.

$conn = odbc_pconnect("CData ODBC API Source","user","password");
...
odbc_close($conn); //persistent connection must be closed explicitly

Create Prepared Statements

Create prepared statements and parameterized queries with the odbc_prepare function.

$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM AgentBranches WHERE AgentId = ?");

Execute Queries

Execute prepared statements with odbc_execute.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC API Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM AgentBranches WHERE AgentId = ?");
$success = odbc_execute($query, array('agent_01234567890'));
  

Execute nonparameterized queries with odbc_exec.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC API Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT ,  FROM AgentBranches WHERE AgentId = 'agent_01234567890'");
  

Process Results

Access a row in the result set as an array with the odbc_fetch_array function.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC ElevenLabs data Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_exec($conn, "SELECT ,  FROM AgentBranches WHERE AgentId = 'agent_01234567890'");
while($row = odbc_fetch_array($query)){
 echo $row[""] . "\n";
}

Display the result set in an HTML table with the odbc_result_all function.

$conn = odbc_connect("CData ODBC ElevenLabs data Source","user","password");
$query = odbc_prepare($conn, "SELECT * FROM AgentBranches WHERE AgentId = ?");
$success = odbc_execute($query, array('agent_01234567890'));
if($success)
  odbc_result_all($query);

More Example Queries

You will find complete information on the driver's supported SQL in the help documentation. The code examples above are ElevenLabs-specific adaptations of the PHP community documentation for all ODBC functions.
