Lets start with the basics. (I'm sure you've done all this, but just to be sure....)
Can you ping 192.168.10.72? (can you confirm netowrking to that box is operational?) Have you loaded up a test page that only has <?php phpinfo(); ?> ? - this will tell you if Apache/PHP has the required support. I have successfully connected to SQL Server in the past (MSSQL 2000) using PHP, but that was more just proof of concept for me. So, I know it can be done. The question is what part is failing for you.... The "tsql" command - is that a command line command? (looks like it...) I've never used it so don't know the details there. If it helps I connected with PEAR DB (MDB2 now), to hide the low level details of which database I was talking to. Hope that helps in some way, as little as that was.. :) Shawn Johnny Stork wrote: > I am trying to make a connection to a SQL-Server 2005 host from a Linux > (RHEL5, PHP 5.2.5) but am having problems.
