Re: [PHP-DB] Connect to MSDE using PHP
I have connected to MSDE from PHP and it does work, what I would
suggest, is ignore trying to do hostnames, and use IP's, so change the
connect line to the IP of the MSDE machine. I know some will say it's
not necessary, but I'm just telling you what I did, and it worked fine
using the standard mssql functions, not odbc.

I've uncommented the line in php.ini to load the MSSQL functions and
they show up on a phpinfo() page, so that part is good.
When I installed MSDE I tried it without a named instance first and just
set an SA password.
Neither of these worked:
mssql_connect('localhost','sa','password')
mssql_connect('coconut','sa','password')
where coconut is the name of my computer.
Then I tried installing MSDE again with a named instance and tried
mssql_connect('namedinstance\localhost','sa','password')
mssql_connect('namedinstance\coconut','sa','password')
and those wouldn't work either. The only response I get is failed to
connect to server ...
I'm off to try ODBC. Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: [PHP-DB] Connect to MSDE using PHP
Hi John
I have never used MSDE, but from my understanding if is suppose to behave
like SQL Server. When you installed it, did it mention anything about
whether or not TCP/IP connectivity should be supported? You may need to
ensure that the server is communicating over port 1433. If you are
unsuccessful with either mssql or odbc, then you should try the odbtp
extension at http://odbtp.sourceforge.net. If you use odbtp, use (local)
for the SERVER parameter.

I was able to get it to work through ODBC both using the ODBC functions in PHP and through ADOdb, so I guess I'll have to settle for that. I just want an MSSQL test environment (for free) that I can use to develop scripts on. -- ---John Holmes...
