I’m working on a script in PHP that needs to get some info from a SQL Server database. However, I am having trouble connecting to the database. When i use the mssql_connect() function, it gives me an error and says it cannot connect to the database. However, it gives no reason why. Is there any way to find out why it won’t connect? There doesn’t seem to be a function mssql_error() or anything like there is with the mysql library.
Try to use pdo (http://php.net/pdo). the mssql-extension is a mess.
Instead of ” it returns ‘ ‘ for empty strings. It seems to be a bug in ntwdblib that has never been fixed. When I experienced the problem i nearly went crazy…
To get the client connected: Have you activated tcp/ip on the sql-server? On MSSQL 2005 Express it’s not activated by default!
