Hi All, I am having a hard time connecting to a mssql db from within a class. I keep getting this error; Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: message: Login failed for user 'SERVER\IUSR_SERVER'. (severity 14) in G:\wwwdev\includes\dbclass.inc.php on line 20
$this->dbh = mssql_connect($this->dbhost, $this->user, $this->pass); //Line 20 Which indicates that he's not receiving the connection values. In the declarations of the class I have; protected $user; protected $pass; protected $dbhost; protected $dbname; protected $dbh; protected $config_file = 'config.inc.php'; And in the __constructor I am calling the config file. include_once($this->config_file); $this->user = $user; $this->pass = $pass; $this->dbhost = $dbhost; $this->dbname = $dbname; If I change it to pass values into the constructor and remove the call to the config file from the class and put it in the file that instantiates the class I get the same error. If I assign the values to the vars on declaration then it works. It is my understanding that if a var is protected then it is used only in that class and subclasses but not by class users. This explains why when I try to pass the values to the constructor it threw that error. But why can't I assign the values to the vars from inside the constructor by including the config file? Oddly enough when I debug the file I don't get anything that indicates that it won't parse the class. alex hogan ************************************************************************************* The contents of this e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
