[PHP-DB] Newbie: MSSQL under PHP4?

2001-03-13 Thread James Q. Stansfield


Hello all, I'm an ASP centric webdeveloper moving to Linux and have made
the first fwe baby steps in that direction.
While I have a Linux server configure with Apache, PHP4  mySQL, I have
need to use PHP4 under IIS 5.0 using an existing MSSQL 2000 db.
Now I've downloaded the Binary of PHP4 for Windows and installed it fine.
Everything works it goes great under IIS. Kudos to the developers.
My problem is conflicting documentation: One bit says that the mssql7.dll
is no longer needed as it is built-in to the binary. Ohters say it isn't so.
What I'd like is someone to point me to a good resource with a good example
of database connection via ODBC, and via the native SQL drivers.
Thanks in advance.

Built-in support under Windows version 4.0.4pl1 should be ODBC and MySQL.
You need to uncomment driver mssql7.dll to connect using SQL Server driver.
We use the ADODB library at http://php.weblogs.com/ADODB.  I think you'll
like its approach coming from ASP.
