PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect()

I am developing a light-weight PHP application which accesses a remote SQL server db.

So far, I am out of luck in getting connection setup to SQL Server db through my PHP script.

I keep getting this error when I am trying to connect to sql DB:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect()

I get similar error when I try sqlsrv_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass) too

Here is what I have already tried:

I search for solution on web for hours, but nothing works.

I downloaded drivers from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20098
and unzipped them into php/ext folder

modified php.ini to add newly downloaded drivers lines:

extension=php_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_54_ts.dll

[sqlsrv]
sqlsrv.LogSubsystems = 1
sqlsrv.LogSeverity = 1
sqlsrv.WarningReturnAsErrors = 0

Restarted the Apache server

But, see phpinfo() output it doesn’t have sqlserv in it http://bit.ly/TkMC6V

Just so you know, I am developing this on my windows machine by installing EasyPHP. This website will be deployed on a Unix box. I tried to connect sql server through php on both Windows and Unix machine without any success.

Version info:

SQL Server 9.0.5000    
PHP ver 5.4.6    
Apache 2.4

I just dont get sqlsrv in my phpinfo() as mentioned in this question PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect()

Is there a different way to install the drivers, other than what I have outlined above?

Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks!

Answer 1

I found the issue, by looking at phpInfo() output carefully

Loaded Configuration File   C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-12.1\apache\php.ini

I was modifying php.ini in php directory.
But, I needed to modify the one in apache directory

I can delete this silly question.
But, I think it might be helpful for someone facing similar issue.

Jeez , I spent 4 hour on this stupid issue. 🙂
