From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: Win 2000 w/SP 2 PHP version: 4.0.5 PHP Bug Type: MSSQL related Bug description: mssql_pconnect fails Hey. It seems there is a problem with mssql_pconnect and connecting to an outside databases. If the database, PHP, and web server are all running on the same machine, pconnnect works just fine with no errors. If the database is external, the pconnect will succeed the first time, but fail for subsequent tries with a PHP access violation error message. The pconnect is connecting to a MS SQL 7 server via the server IP address, userid, and password combination. Two things seem to cause the connection not to break: switch the mssql_pconnect command to mssql_connect or have the database, PHP, and web server all be the same machine. Please email me if more information is needed to help solve this problem. PHP is wonderful!! Thank you and have a nice day!
