hey sudhakar.. when you're changing database apps, you're normally going to have to change the connection codem as well as possibly the query structure for your different select/insert/etc.. queries. there should be plenty of examples/tutorials on the net, as well as in the php.net website. have fun! -----Original Message----- From: Sudhakar [mailto:sudhakararaog@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2008 8:49 PM To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: question about using sql server with php i have a question about how to use sql database with php instead of using my sql database when i use my sql database the php code to connect to the my sql database is = $conn = mysql_connect($hostname, $user, $password); if(!$conn) { echo "Unable to connect to Database"; } else { mysql_select_db($database, $conn); $query = mysql_query($selectquery); mysql_close($conn); } if i have to connect to a sql databse instead of my sql database as some companies use sql database, how can i change the php code to connect, run a query and close connection to the sql database. apart from changing the code to connect to sql database is there something else i need to do. please advice. thanks -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
