Since you are using php_mssql.dll, you should use php_odbtp.dll instead of php_odbtp_mssql.dll to prevent namespace conflicts. The ADODb driver name is 'odbtp', and the database connection should be performed similar to the following: $db = NewADOConnection('odbtp'); // Connect to database via ODBTP server $odbtp_server = '127.0.0.1'; $odbc_conn = 'DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=mysqlserver;' . 'UID=myuid;PWD=mypwd;DATABASE=mydb; '; if( !$db->PConnect( $odbtp_server, $odbc_conn ) ) { print $DB->ErrorMsg(); die; } On Sun, 18 Sep 2005, Alf Stockton wrote: > Robert Twitty wrote: > > >Hi Alf > > > >The ODBTP client works on all platforms.
