Hi, -----Original Message----- From: DeadTOm [mailto:deadtom@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 10:58 PM To: Wei, Alice J. Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: PHP Runs But Does Not Display on Linux OK, I see now. When you open the script from your browser are you accessing it via a server like Http://localhost/some/file.php or are you just opening a php file on your hard drive? I'm guessing you're accessing it on the hard drive directly, which will not work since PHP scripts are executed server side. So you will need to install apache2 with php. As far as the mssql_connect error goes, the same rule applies. You need to have the proper php module installed to define for php what the mssql_connect function does, otherwise php doesn't know what it is and yells at you for not defining the function. -Allen Thanks for clarifying the first point, and that is probably why. As for the second point, according to http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php, isn't mssql_connect defined already as something internal within PHP? Or, am I missing something here? Plus, I connect this not to the localhost, but to a different Windows machine, so does this mean that I have to install it? One of the members on the list suggested something from http://www.freetds.org/, if this is something I have to install, I will definitely give it a shot.

I call this from a different machine, so I shouldn't get this kind of error even if I don't have it installed, right?

MySQL? Since I am not using that to connect my PHP to, do I still need to install it? By the way, my Microsoft SQL server database is on a different Windows machine. >> >> Alice >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: DeadTOm [mailto:deadtom@xxxxxxxxxxxx] >> Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 10:29 PM >> To: Wei, Alice J.; php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> Subject: Re: PHP Runs But Does Not Display on Linux >> >> Do you have php-mysql installed?
