Hi there, Hope someone can help me with this. I need to connect to a MS SQL database but my attemps fail once and again. This is the error message I get when try to connect:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mssql_connect() in /var/www/htdocs/DB_conn.php on line 8 The script is very simple: <?php $hostname = "10.0.0.206:1433"; $username = "sa"; $password = ""; $dbName = "dbname_here"; $idLink = mssql_connect($hostname,$username,$password) or die("DATABASE FAILED TO RESPOND."); mssql_select_db($dbName) or die("Table unavailable"); ?> Now, this is the info I can provide: 1) PHP version 4.3.0-dev 2) phpinfo shows: './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--enable-module=so' '--with-mod_charset' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds' 3) Of course, freetds is located at /usr/local/freetds and works properly. It was tested using tsql -H -p -U and it's ok. 4) I also tried adding #!/usr/local/bin/php to try it as a shell scripting thing and it WORKS! Which is very confusing. 5) php.ini shows: [MSSQL] ; Allow or prevent persistent links. mssql.allow_persistent = On ; Maximum number of persistent links. -1 means no limit. mssql.max_persistent = -1 ; Maximum number of links (persistent+non persistent). -1 means no limit. mssql.max_links = -1 ; Minimum error severity to display. mssql.min_error_severity = 10 ; Minimum message severity to display. mssql.min_message_severity = 10 ; Compatability mode with old versions of PHP 3.0. mssql.compatability_mode = Off ; Valid range 0 - 2147483647. Default = 4096. ;mssql.textlimit = 4096 ; Valid range 0 - 2147483647. Default = 4096. ;mssql.textsize = 4096 ; Limits the number of records in each batch. 0 = all records in one batch. ;mssql.batchsize = 0 ; Use NT authentication when connecting to the server mssql.secure_connection = Off ; Specify max number of processes. Default = 25 ;mssql.max_procs = 25 I have no idea what the problem is; any help will be much appreciated. -Paula -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
