For security reasons, the links will not be opened. What are they intending to show?

In any event, please source the sa_config.sh (or equivalent) that is in the bin64 (or bin32) and retest. You will likely need to set the SQLANY17 environment variable.

thankyou for the response. I run sa_config.sh and no error occurs.

Solve

I set Environment to /etc/bash.bashrc (add code below)

#SQLANY17="/opt/sqlanywhere17"
#export SQLANY17
#[ -r "$HOME/.sqlanywhere17/sample_env64.sh" ] && . "$HOME/.sqlanywhere17/sample>
#[ -z "${SQLANYSAMP17:-}" ] && SQLANYSAMP17="/opt/sqlanywhere17/samples"
#export SQLANYSAMP17
#PATH="$SQLANY17/bin64:$SQLANY17/bin32:${PATH:-}"
#export PATH
#NODE_PATH="$SQLANY17/node:${NODE_PATH:-}"
#export NODE_PATH
#LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$SQLANY17/lib32:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}"
#LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$SQLANY17/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-}"
#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

i copy all file in /opt/sqlanywhere17/lib64 to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

i copy all file in /opt/sqlanywhere17/bib64 to /usr/bin

i edit /etc/php/7.4/fpm/pool.d/www.conf (add code below)

#clear_env = no

#env[SQLANYSAMP17] = /opt/sqlanywhere17/samples
#env[SQLANY17] = /opt/sqlanywhere17
#env[PATH] = /opt/sqlanywhere17/bin64:/opt/sqlanywhere17/bin32:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
#env[LD_LIBRARY_PATH] = /opt/sqlanywhere17/lib64:/opt/sqlanywhere17/lib32
#env[NODE_PATH] = /opt/sqlanywhere17/node

Are those environment changes visible to PHP? For example, does phpinfo() confirm that the library path includes the SQL Anywhere directories? Did you restart the web server (assuming that is being used for testing) to pick up the changes? Have you tried setting either the webserver or PHP configuration files to source the SQLA environment?
