The MSSQL standard mssql extension handles the 'Changed database context' message correct. Each query send to the SQL server results in some form of message returned. This can be either an error message or an information message. The MSSQL extension uses two ini settings to tell PHP how to handle these messages. If a message from the server has a severity equal to or higher than the setting in php.ini, PHP will create a warning or an error (stop processing the script). The default setting for both parameters is 10, and that should give a smooth execution of most PHP scripts. For debugging you might want to lover these values. (And this is not what I said in an earlier post but I was wrong then. This time I checked it :-)) 'Changed database context' has a severity = 0. This will only be handled by PHP if mssql.min_message_severity = 0. The mssql_get_last_message() function will always return the last message from the server. This function should not be used to check for errors. The function is intended to give the programmer a tool to fetch the message if an error is detected. - Frank > Hi Robert, > > I've seen your name on a few of the ODBTP posts.
