Hi, We are trying to move some php webapplications from windows to linux. One of them is one with necessery db-connection to an MSSQL server. The application migration isn't running too smooth, since: If I udnerstand it correctly, there is the native-mssql connector for PHP under windows, the mssql.dll, and under unix/linux there is the php_sybase_ct.so, linked to the freetds libraries. Can this mean, that the used mssql_ functions used from the mssql.dll can cause a bit challange to port the application to linux and php-sybase_ct? We keep getting errormsgs like: Warning: mssql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid Sybase result resource in /opt/appdata/web/apache2/tbinfo.utalan.at/public_html/content/page01.php on line 5 atsrvlx02-new:/opt/appdata/web/apache2/tbinfo.utalan.at/public_html/content# grep -A5 -B5 mssql_num_rows /opt/appdata/web/apache2/tbinfo.utalan.at/public_html/content/page01.php <?php include("../bwuser/config.php"); $result_online = mssql_query("SELECT * FROM WEBSEC_T05_ONLINE"); $number_online = mssql_num_rows($result_online); if ($number_online == 0){$onlinetxt= "Online Info";} else {$onlinetxt= $number_online." Member online";} ?> <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> atsrvlx02-new:/opt/appdata/web/apache2/tbinfo.utalan.at/public_html/content# okay, If I try it with another sql client, it say 0 rows selected. Another question: Can I use the mssql.dll in a form like mssql.so under linux/unix? As I see for this I have to recompile my php4. Is there any reason that the PHP FAQ suggests the sybase_ct.so module and not the mssql.so module? In my (debian) distribution I didnt even find the mssql.so php module. Is that some licence issue? Or does it have disadvantages? any help/info is appreciated. tia charlie -- - Because it messes up the order in which you normally read text. - Why is top-posting such a bad idea? - Top-posting. - What is the most annoying thing on Usenet? -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
