Hello, I can connect to a SQL server in the following way from my windows OS machine: Start --> control Panel --> Administrative tools ---> Data Sources(ODBC) and provide the necessary input. This works for me without problems.
I have installed xamp sw on this window machine. The SW version is xampfile-win32.1.6.6a.This includes Apache, MySql and PHP SW. How can I connect to the SQL server with a php script?I want to use the same machine + database as I did in the above case.I have started Apache + Mysql from xamp.The in Internet explorere I gave the following Command: http://localhost/scrpt.php I tried the follwong script from(script.php) : <?php $dsn="asi_qms"; $username="asi_qms_2006"; $password="something"; $server="xxx"; if(!$handle = odbc_connect($dsn, '$username', '$password')) die('Keine Verbindung möglich!'); ?> I got the following error when I execute the previous script: Warning: odbc_connect() [function.odbc-connect]: SQL error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user '$username'., SQL state 28000 in SQLConnect in C:\xampplite\htdocs\script.php on line 6 Keine Verbindung möglich!
