Question

I currently have a school assignment that involves both PHP and asp.net. Now the assignment is that I make an E-commerce website with PHP and it’s CMS with asp.net. Therefore both websites connect to the same database which is in SQL Server.

At the moment using Visual Studio’s SQL Server Express, and I have generated an mdf file as the database. I am using xampplite as a web-server and notepad++ to code PHP and I am trying to connect to the mdf file.

Is it possible? If so, What should I use as a connection string?
