Re: [PHP] question about using sql server with php
We use a linux webserver but have a need to connect to MSSQL databases.
Since I used Fedora, I was lucky enough to find the PHP-MSSQL package but
that has only been available via yum recently. My first attempt at
connecting to MSSQL was much more difficult when I was using FC3.

What distribution are you using for your server, as every distro I've
ever touched has them. Also, the question was regarding connection to a
mssql database, not mysql. As he didn't specify the operating system,
I'm going out on a limb by thinking the PHP was on a Windows web server
(who would run PHP on a Linux web server to then use the inferior mssql
database?)

You also need to make sure that your server has the mysql drivers
installed. A linux server does not come with this support natively.

RE: [PHP] question about using sql server with php
hey sudhakar..
when you're changing database apps, you're normally going to have to change
the connection codem as well as possibly the query structure for your
different select/insert/etc.. queries.
there should be plenty of examples/tutorials on the net, as well as in the
php.net website.
have fun!

Subject: [PHP] question about using sql server with php
i have a question about how to use sql database with php instead of using my
sql database
when i use my sql database the php code to connect to the my sql database is
=
$conn = mysql_connect($hostname, $user, $password);
if(!$conn)
{
echo "Unable to connect to Database";
}
else
{
mysql_select_db($database, $conn);
$query = mysql_query($selectquery);
mysql_close($conn);
}
if i have to connect to a sql databse instead of my sql database as some
companies use sql database, how can i change the php code to connect, run a
query and close connection to the sql database.
apart from changing the code to connect to sql database is there something
else i need to do.
please advice.
thanks
