Hello, The default way to connect is to use SQL Server user names and passwords, but the mssql extension can be configured to use secure/trusted connections. This is don by setting mssql.secure_connection = On in php.ini. With a secure connection the client maschine will use the userid/password for the user who runs the php script (in this case that would be the user configured under the web server) - Frank > hi there, > > i have been trying to connect to a sql 2000 server database. I am able to connect using the DSN-connection: i.e., the following code works: > <?php > $dsn = "btc"; > $user = ""; > $password = ""; > $sqlconnect = odbc_connect ($dsn, $user, $password); > $sqlquery = "SELECT FullDescrp FROM BTCCode3;"; > $process = odbc_exec ($sqlconnect, $sqlquery); > echo $sqlquery; > echo "<br><br>"; > while (odbc_fetch_row ($process)) > { > $Description = odbc_result($process, "FullDescrp"); > echo "$Description <br>"; > } > odbc_close ($sqlconnect); > ?> > > But when i try to connect to the database using the mssql_xxxx functions like: > <?php > $dsn = "btc"; > $user = ""; > $password = ""; > $myDB = "BACSDB_test"; > $sqlconnect = mssql_connect ("$localhost", $user, $password); > $sqldb = mssql_select_db($myDB, $sqlconnect) or die("Couldn't open database $myDB"); > $sqlquery = "SELECT FullDescrp FROM BTCCode3;"; > $result = mssql_query ($sqlquery); > echo $sqlquery; > echo "<br><br>"; > while ($row = mssql_fetch_array ($result)) > { > echo $row['FullDescrp']."<br>\n"; > } > mssql_close ($sqlconnect); > ?> > > It is not getting conencted.
