With localhost I was assuming that the files resided on your local
machine, my bad. How are you accessing these files? The location you are
getting them from has to be running a web server of some kind with php
or the php scripts will not run and you'll only see the html output as
you described.
I run a linux server with apache2, php and mysql and I believe that the
purpose of the php5-mysql package is to add files that define those
mysql function calls. I'm sure that there is something similar for mssql.

OK, I see now.
When you open the script from your browser are you accessing it via a
server like Http://localhost/some/file.php or are you just opening a php
file on your hard drive? I'm guessing you're accessing it on the hard
drive directly, which will not work since PHP scripts are executed
server side. So you will need to install apache2 with php.
As far as the mssql_connect error goes, the same rule applies. You need
to have the proper php module installed to define for php what the
mssql_connect function does, otherwise php doesn't know what it is and
yells at you for not defining the function.

Thanks for clarifying the first point, and that is probably why.
As for the second point, according to
http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php, isn't mssql_connect
defined already as something internal within PHP? Or, am I missing something
here?
Plus, I connect this not to the localhost, but to a different Windows machine,
so does this mean that I have to install it? One of the members on the list
suggested something from http://www.freetds.org/, if this is something I have
to install, I will definitely give it a shot.

Hi,
For testing purpose, I have something like
<html>
<head><title>Test</title>

<p>This is test</p>
<?php echo "Hello!"; ?>

I see the following from the command prompt when I execute the above script:
<html>
<head><title>Test</title>
<body>
<p>This is test</p>Hello
</body>
</html>
On the browser, I only see:
<html>
<head><title>Test</title>
<body>
<p>This is test</p>
</body>
</html>
I just realized that the mysql_connect error is a typo, I should have typed
mssql_connect. I call this from a different machine, so I shouldn't get this
kind of error even if I don't have it installed, right? Or, am I missing
something here?

If you're getting this error, there is a line of code in the php script
that is trying to connect to a mysql database and the mysql extension
for php is not installed. So php doesn't know this function is supposed
to do hence, the "undefined function" error.
>I can only see the HTML code of the php functions I call within the

"browser."
I'm a little confused about what you mean here. You shouldn't see any
HTML code in your browser.

Hi,
I have originally commented out all the MS SQL lines in the php.ini files so
that it supports MS SQL, but that does not seem to work. MySQL? Since I am not
using that to connect my PHP to, do I still need to install it? By the way, my
Microsoft SQL server database is on a different Windows machine.

Do you have php-mysql installed? In ubuntu for php5 the package is
php5-mysql.

Hi,
I am currently using a Linux box with Fedora to run my PHP scripts, which I
have seen in the download page at http://www.php.net/downloads.php that
We do not distribute UNIX/Linux binaries. Most Linux distributions come with
PHP these days.
What I am wondering is, if I can run my scripts by using the command like php
some_php.php, as long as it does not require me to have it displayed on the web page or
in need of using a mssql_connect function, it does not give me any errors at all.
Otherwise, it consistently gives me errors "Call to undefined function:
mysql_connect()...".
I can only see the HTML code of the php functions I call within the code at the command
output in text format, but I cannot see it on the "browser."
Are these two errors related? I tried installing PHP and Apache afterwards,
but it seems that it is not providing a different message. Have I missed
something here?
Anything is appreciated.
