Everyone,
I have never used the PHP mssql functions before, I am versed in MySql instead,
I cannot get the following code to return any records.
The variables $dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpasswd are defined in a config file and
are being read and the connection is being made because I can change any one of
the variables to a incorrect value and mssql_connect fails.
When I use TDS Version 8.0 I get back the Resource ID # only.
<?php
$linkID = mssql_connect($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpasswd);
if(!$linkID)
{
die('There was an error while attempting to connect to the MSSQL Server');
}
if(!$linkID || !mssql_select_db($database, $linkID))
{
die('Unable to connect or select database!');
}
//The following is for debugging
$query = "SELECT * FROM pohdr WHERE ponum = '136025'";
echo $query;
print "<BR>";
print "<BR>";
$data = mssql_query($query, $linkID) or die ('Query failed: '.$query);
$result = array();
echo $data;
do {
while ($row = mssql_fetch_row($data)){
$result[] = $row;
}
}while ( mssql_next_result($data) );
// Clean up
mssql_free_result($data);
mssql_close($linkID);
include ('common/footer.php');
?>
My environment:
Server #1 - 100% CentOS RPM installed
CentOS 5.3
Apache 2.2.3
PHP 5.1.6
FreeTDS 0.64
Server #2
Microsoft Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
SQL Server 2005
SQL Server 2000 Compatibility Tools installed
Server #3 - Compiled from Source
CentOS 5.3
Apache 2.2.11
PHP 5.2.10 (also tried 5.2.5, 5.1.6 and 4.4.7)
FreeTDS 0.82
By setting the TDS Version to 8.0 on either Server #1 or Server #2 I can make a
connection to the SQL Server using tsql -S {servername} -U {username} and
execute the SQL Query above and the records are returned.
If I set the TDS Version to 9.0 I can make a connection to the SQL server but
from 0.64 or 0.82 I get this error "Msg 4004, Level 16, State 1, Server
{servername}, Line 1 Unicode data in a Unicode-only collation or ntext data
cannot be sent to clients using DB-Library (such as ISQL) or ODBC version 3.7
or earlier." when I use the SQL Query above.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Steve
