I changed the mssql_select_db line as suggested by another person here but it didn't change a thing. I still get the exact same error message. Is there anyone else here connecting to a MS SQL server using TDS v8.0 ?? Thanks!

I've installed FreeTDS and I can connect and query the database with TSQL. With PHP I can connect and disconnect properly but I can't query or attach to different databases. Here is my sample PHP followed by what the web server throws back at me: sql-test.php ------------ <html> <body bgcolor=white> <?php $dbproc = mssql_connect("roger","sa","admin"); #$dbproc = sybase_connect("roger","sa","admin"); if (! $dbproc) { print "Can't connect to server"; return; } print "Connected to server."; $dbconnect = mssql_select_db("Northwind"); if (! $dbconnect) { print "Can't connect to Northwind"; return; } print "Connected to database"; #$res = sybase_query("select * from test",$dbproc); #if (! $res) { # return; #} #while ($arr = sybase_fetch_array($res)) { # print $arr["i"] . " " . $arr["v"] . "<br>\n"; #} if (! mssql_close($dbproc)) { print "Can't close server connection"; return; } print "Connection closed."; ?> </body> </html> ================================================ Output in browser when referencing the sql-test.php file: --------------------------------------------------------- Connected to server. Warning: Sybase: Server message: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'e'. (severity 15, procedure N/A) in /home/www/sql-test.php on line 12 Can't connect to Northwind ================================================ Can anyone help me figure this one out?! Thanks!
