Not Sure Which Package has mssql_connect.

2010-09-29 Thread Martin McCormick
I just upgraded a system from FreeBSD6.3 to 8.1 and only have 2
loose ends so far.

One is that I discovered some of my C code needs a
little touching up to continue to work right and the other is
that we have an application on our system that uses freetds and
makes mysql queries and presently gives me the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in 

Line number of script is given and that line reads:

$numero= mssql_connect(sql , natreg1 , PASSWD );

As soon as I find out what port or package contains
mysql_connect, we should be back in business.

I did install mysql50-client. It does not contain the
mysql_connect routine so I deleted it. I installed the port
called mysql-connector-odbc which looked like a good possibility
but it also does not have the connect routine.

I installed php5 to get the php interpreter so it is
possible that I have the wrong php and another php has the
mysql_connect routine so at this time, I am all ears.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you sure mssql_connect() isn't a typo?  The rest of your email
states mysql_connect().

   As soon as I find out what port or package contains

Hi Martin,

You referred to C code at the top of your message, but are you actually
looking for a PHP extension that contains the mssql_connection function
so some PHP code runs correctly?  I also have a question whether you're
looking for a PHP extension that connections to a MS SQL server or one
that connects to a MySQL server.  I'm guessing you're trying to connect
to MS SQL.

If so, please install http://www.freshports.org/databases/php5-mssql/,
and you should be all set.  You shouldn't need to install
http://www.freshports.org/databases/php5-mysql/ unless you're trying to
connect to a MySQL server, too.

Hope that helps,
Greg

Wow! I've been doing too much of this this week. It's
actually the other way around. The problem is with
mssql_connect and my references to mysql were based on a bit of
confusion.

We are connecting to a remote SQL server and pulling
information off of it. Sorry for the confusion and thanks.

That was actually incidental. I was thinking about what had
happened when I transplanted some home-grown C code in to 8.1
and had to clean up some of my lazy habits to make it work
again. So far, nothing I haven't been able to handle.

 but are you actually
 looking for a PHP extension that contains the mssql_connection function

Yes.

  I also have a question whether you're
 looking for a PHP extension that connections to a MS SQL server or one
 that connects to a MySQL server.  I'm guessing you're trying to connect
 to MS SQL.

In spite of my rather confused question, that is exactly what I
am doing. We talk to a remote mssql server and pull off new data
from a database.

 
 If so, please install http://www.freshports.org/databases/php5-mssql/,
 and you should be all set.  You shouldn't need to install
 http://www.freshports.org/databases/php5-mysql/ unless you're trying to
 connect to a MySQL server, too.

The first port is what I needed. Many thanks.
