FileMaker Pro PHP ODBC Connection

How do I connect to a FMP database using an ODBC connection? The name of the server is fmserver, and there is no Username or Password. This is what I try:

$name = 'fmserver';
$conn = odbc_connect($name, '', '');

But for some reason, when I try it out, it brings me to a page that says (on chrome):

Server error

The website encountered an error while retrieving [URL]. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

Is there some method that I'm implementing wrong? I have the IP address too, and have tried that, but I can't seem to get that to work either.

Do you have the FileMaker ODBC driver installed and configured with "fmserver" as the DSN?

I would highly recommend you take a look at the FileMaker PHP API vs. ODBC.
