Hi,
Follwoing is a problem I'm having following some advice in a book called
"PHP5 in easy steps" written by Mike McGrath:
This is a connection that seems not to work according to the writer of "PHP
5 in easy steps" :
<html>
<head> <title>MS SQL2000 Connection Test</title> </head>
<body>
<h2>
<?php
$connection = mssql_connect ( "MS_SQL2000" )
or die ( "Sorry - unable to connect to MS SQL2000" );
echo ("Congratulations, Vernon, - you connected to MS SQL2000") ;
?>
</h2>
</body> </html>
He originally wrote (for line 6) $connection = mysql_connect ( "localhost",
"root", "" )
or die ("Sorry - unable to connect to connect to MySQL");
All I am doing is trying to use MS SQL2000 which I have running on my
comptuer, along with Apache Server (1.3.33)and PHP5 (5.0.4) And get a
result that does not connect. Give it a try and you will see. I created a
file in the htdocs folder of Apache and it is named mssqltest.php and has
the above scripts. Rather than using the MySQL that the author has
suggested to use, I'm using my exisiting MS SQL2000 that is up and running.
Also I have not had much success with Apache Server 2.0.54 as yet.. any one
else?
Would be nice if authors would not assume that you ALWAYS want to use MySQL
or any other database manager, and just put in a few examples from different
angles.
thanks in advance if you have some ideas for me.
CHEERS!!
Vernon
