Re: [PHP] php 5 and ms sql server express won't play nice !
... but the second comment seems helpful. [1] http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php For SQL Server 2005, getting the right version of that ntwdblib.dll is crucial. However, Microsoft has apparently abandoned the NTWDBLIB library, so I have begun working with PDO ODBC instead.

with the suggested config i get the following Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: (local)\SQLEXPRESS in C:\wamp\www\test\test.php on line 8 Couldn't connect to SQL Server on (local)\SQLEXPRESS this is my connection script ?php $myServer = (local)\SQLEXPRESS; $myUser = sa; $myPass = [EMAIL PROTECTED]; $myDB = WEBCOLTECH; //connection to the database $dbhandle = mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass) or die(Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $myServer); On 8/16/07, Kirk Friggstad [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: SQL Server Express defaults to installing as a named instance - assuming that you're running Apache/PHP on the same machine as SQL Server Express, I believe you'll want to use (local)\SQLEXPRESS as the host to connect to.

SQL Server Express defaults to installing as a named instance - assuming that you're running Apache/PHP on the same machine as SQL Server Express, I believe you'll want to use (local)\SQLEXPRESS as the host to connect to. If it's on a different machine, you'll want to use MACHINENAME\SQLEXPRESS (replace MACHINENAME with the actual name of the computer SQL Express is running on).
