Question

I have problems with this simple SELECT command, I’ve already selected which database in my sql connection string, but it seems to think that the “cellnames” in my table is a database, and “rnc” is the tablename, right?

$data = mysql_query("
    SELECT * FROM cellnames.rnc
    ") or die(mysql_error());

This outputs:

“SELECT command denied to user ”@’localhost’ for table ‘rnc'”

However, the table name is “cellnames”, and the column is “rnc”. How come it works this way? And what do I need to do to make it work?

I’ve also tried this:

$data = mysql_query("
    SELECT * FROM cellnames
    ") or die(mysql_error());

Which results in:

No database selected

Can this have something to do with it? I’ve already specified the database in the connection string but perhaps that didn’t work? This is my connection string:

$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"ranos_se");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);

Answer 1

You should try with sqlsrv_query instead of mysql_query. As you are using MSSQL, not MYSQL.

like

$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"ranos_se");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
$data = sqlsrv_query($conn, "SELECT * FROM cellnames") or die(sqlsrv_errors());
