Mssql

[_jamz]

Hi friends, I'm currently running a MSSQL on my computer, and when i try to connect the database via a php script all i got is a blank white php page. Any idea what when wrong?... Or is there some additional component i need to install so that my computer can allow php access or smth?... :dunno:

<?php
$dbhost = "theIPgoeshere"; $dbuser = "theusernamegoeshere"; $dbpass = "thepasswordgoeshere";
@mssql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpass)or die("error");
@mssql_select_db("test2")or die("error");
?>

Remove the @'s so you can view the error occurring.

Do you have PHP, Apache and MSSQL installed on your computer? If not, you will need to install Apache / PHP and its extensions (Google for LAMP).

I upload the php files on my x10 account.

Here's what i got:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mssql_connect() in /home/jamzonli/public_html/test.php on line 3

Any idea whats the problem?... :happysad:

Requirements for Unix/Linux platforms.

To use the MSSQL extension on Unix/Linux, you first need to build and install the FreeTDS library. Source code and installation instructions are available at the FreeTDS home page: » http://www.freetds.org/

I got the same problem too... Does that mean we cant connect to MSSQL till x10 server has that extension installed on the server?...

x10 would need to install the MSSQL server on their servers, which I don't think they will do.

If I am right in saying MSSQL stands for Microsoft SQL or something like that??

wouldnt it be easier to use the MySQL in cPanel, then perform the connection using this:

// Enter the username here. Can be the main admin username or an account you assigned to it earlier.
$sql[username] = "username here"; 

// Enter your password here. Again can be done using admin password or the account you assigned to the db in the mysql manager in cPanel.
$sql[password] = "password here";

// Should be left at localhost. This should work.
$sql[hostname] = "localhost";

// Normally begins with your username. Example: zenax_website
$sql[db_name] = "name of db here" 

// Performs a connection to the SQL host, and if there is an error should display the error message
$connection = mysql_connect($sql[hostname], $sql[username], $sql[password]
or die ("Sorry cannot connect to the SQL server");

// Selects the database specified above. Uses the connection created earlier, if not shows error message
$db_select = mysql_select_db($sql[db_name], $connection)
or die ("Sorry cannot connect to the DB on the SQL server. Please check your configuration settings");
