RE: [PHP-DB] PHP to MS SQL Package
Hi, I have changed the freetds.conf file at the server section to the following: # A typical Microsoft server [egServer70] host = 192.168.10.129 port = 1433 tds version = 4.2 I noticed that the pinging and telnet to the server is error free like everything else you suggested below. However, I did notice that on my PHP configuration page, I see no information with MS SQL on the page like Gary described in another post. I am not sure if I would see this to make sure that my PHP would be able to connect to the MS SQL server. I did notice that after having added the above lines, it does not take as long for me to see that it is not connected to the server. I have made attempts to have another person use another programming language to connect using the same user name and password, and he could connect and I could not. Are there other things I might have missed?

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP to MS SQL Package
http://php.he.net/manual/en/mssql.installation.php Installation The MSSQL extension is enabled by adding extension=php_mssql.dll to php.ini. To get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP with --with-mssql[=DIR], where DIR is the FreeTDS install prefix. And FreeTDS should be compiled using --enable-msdblib. Did you actually do a compile ... --with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds ... I saw you asked ./configure [--with-apxs --with-mysql...] You actually meant mssql, right? But I didn't see a reply about that. I searched for --with-mssql in my emails and did not see that in your thread, but saw Claudio Saavedra's thread from Jan 12, 2007 'Problem with PHP 4.4.4 and MSSQL in Centos' also mentioning --with-sybase, but his solution was I fixed it by compiling again php with --with-mssql instead of --with-sybase. Now it works perfectly. So again, I'd recommend compiling --with-mssql. By the way anybody, why would I compile --with-sybase if I want to use MSSQL commands? I just checked my phpinfo on an install that has mysql and mssql. I don't even see a --with-mysql or --with-mssql like on previous servers, but I see additional .ini files parsed which mentions /etc/php.d/mssql.ini and /etc/php.d/mysqli.ini. Enjoy!
[PHP-DB] PHP to MS SQL Package
Hi, I am currently using a Linux box with Fedora 9.0 and I am trying to connect PHP to a MS SQL database. All the permissions on the MS SQL database is up to date and accurate, but I consistently get errors that say PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/create_new_entry_master.php on line 20 I have looked into the options of using FreeBSD, as suggested on the http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php#83196, but I am not sure if I could use it since I don't use a Windows Machine to run my PHP.

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP to MS SQL Package
Make sure some where in your php.ini you have a line that looks like this and is not commented out: extension=mssql.so I haven't used a fedora box as a php webserver in over a year, so my memory of their config file layout is pretty rusty. However, I'm pretty sure they consolidate everything into a single .ini file. I always add a phpinfo.php file to my project so I can run it and see which .ini file apache is using to configure php. All you have to put in the phpinfo.php file is this line: ?php phpinfo(); ? If you visit that page and look around, it will tell you where the php.ini file is. Also, once you have mssql enabled, there will be a section in the phpinfo.php page with all the mssql options. So, looking at the phpinfo.php file is another good way to tell if you have mssql installed properly. Good luck! Ken On Thu, Jun 12, 2008 at 12:58 PM, Wei, Alice J.

[PHP-DB] PHP and MS SQL Server 7.0
I would like to use PHP to open a connection to a MS SQL server, query the database, and then use the query results to generate dynamic content for a mass HTML e-mail campaign. Is it possible to execute PHP scripts in an HTML file or must the file have a .php extension? I'm limited by the software my employer uses (UnityMail, maybe someone's familiar with it?) which requires that the HTML code for the message body be pasted into a client-side form that the software then uses to generate the message and deliver it to the list of recipients. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Then Microsoft released 6.0 including a set of C libraries and everything was fine. Microsoft has not released new versions of the C libraries but they have added a lot of new features to the server with version 6.5, 7.0 and 2000. These features are not available from the C libraries so no matter if you are using the native MSSQL extension for Win32 or you use the Sybase extension with FreeTDS you are limited to the features available in version 6.0 of MS SQL Server. These limitations include char and varchar columns with maximum 255 bytes. No support for nchar, nvarchar or ntext and other types as well. If you can design your tables without using the new features you should be able to make it work.

yes this works. if your code is going to remian on Unix you'll have to install freetds (www.freetds.org). there are instructions on www.php.net/mssql for install in the comments... when you get to the site(freetds.org) I know it says Sysbase..but it is what you're looking for. hope this helps jd Axel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] et cc: Subject: [PHP-DB] PHP and MS-SQL 10/25/2002 09:57 AM I want to apologize for my ignorance in advance...

Ruprecht, SQLServer from Linux is pretty straightfoward. If you want full SQLServer2000 support, you will want to use ODBC. There is a HOWTO at www.iodbc.org for linking PHP --with-iodbc.

[PHP-DB] PHP and MS SQL 2000 Performance
We're running W2K, IIS 5, PHP 4, and SQL Server 2000 and performance seems to be really slow. We're using a simple connect PHP script to query a table that has only 1 record in it, and it takes approximately 20 seconds to load. This seems to be very slow. Is this normal or does anyone have suggestions how to speed things up?

Re: [PHP-DB] PHP and MS SQL 2000 Performance
I run SQL Server on my Pentium III 800mhz laptop which also runs IIS 5 and a variety of other services (including the PHP cgi) and have not seen any type of performance problems. First, are you using the mssql.dll to connect or ODBC? Second, are you running PHP as a cgi or ISAPI plug-in? Third, is performance from an ODBC client and/or remote Query Analyzer client slow performing the same queries? Fourth, did you check your SQL Server box and look at the activity on it? Is SQL Server or some other service hogging resources? Thanks, Joshua Hoover We're only running one database on the system.
