How can I use odbc_connect() in my PHP scripts to
connect to MySQL?

You can just override the built-in PHP function with a user function like the one below, which would be included by all your scripts that need to connect to your database:

function odbc_connect($dsn, $user, $pass, $curs = "") {

return mysql_connect("DBSERVER", $user, $pass);
}

and then it will work without rewriting anything.

An easy way to include the above in every script you have is to use auto_prepend_file.
