I am connecting to a remote MSSQL database from my dev box (windows/apache/php4.06). However, my dev box doesn't have MSSQL installed on it (or else I wouldn't have to connect remotely -- I could copy the DB file to the comp and then use it in MSSQL, connecting locally). To use the MSSQL extensions for PHP, I would have to have teh "MSSQL libraries". What exactly does this mean? When I uncomment the MSSQL extension in php.ini, it still says taht I don't have the MSSQL functions (probably because I don't have these libraries). How do I get these libraries, or is this not even the problem? On another note, how does one connect to a remote DB over ODBC? I've looked at the syntax (and what varous people have told me), and nothing seems to make sense as to where to put the host IP and where to put where the DB name... I'm fine connecting to the same computer that the script is on, but the syntax to remotely connect via ODBC just doesn't seem to make any sense with me (BTW, this problem connecting over ODBC has nothing to do with my MSSQL problem; that I can connect remotely over). --Jason -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
