Question

this post has been edited to reflect the findings thus far between myself and iamkrillin, as we have been the only two posters

I have the following VB.NET code connecting correctly, running from my PC

    Dim strConnection As String = "Server=dev.xxxxx.vmc;Database=report1;integrated security=SSPI;" & _ 
                                  "persist security info=False;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"

    Dim ObjDa As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(pStrQuery, strConnection)

    Try
        Dim dsReturn As DataSet = New DataSet
        ObjDa.Fill(dsReturn)
        ObjDa.Dispose()
        Return dsReturn
    Catch ex As Exception
        Return Nothing
    End Try

I have the following PHP code running from our iSeries

$conn = array( 'host' => 'dev.xxxxx.vmc',
    'username' => 'vmc\adam',
    'password' => 'xxxxxx)',
    'dbname' => 'report1',
    'pdoType' => 'dblib' );

try {
    $db = new Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Mssql($conn);
    $db->getConnection();
} catch (Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception $e) {

}

The getConnection function, is throwing an error:

SQLSTATE[] (null) (severity 0)

And when I look up this error HERE, it appears to be a bug PRE 5.2.10, and we are running 5.2.17. But, some of the other comments say it is still a bug in 5.3.

It seems that if using a domain account, windows auth must be enabled. However, it is not through our PHP. So I need to set up a database specific user for our PHP connection.

In your VB snippet, you are connecting to SQL Server, and in your PHP snippet you are connecting to MySQL. If you need to use SQL Server from PHP, look at this. If you are on a non windows platform you can try FreeTDS. Here is an example of how to get started with it
