Please disregard my post. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-10 18:34:22] cjrogala at gmail dot com You may want to reopen this issue. I am inserting data into MS SQL Server 2008r2 and using PHP 5.2; and the same error occurs. The positive is that the error did not prevent the data from being inserted into the database, but it did display the same error message. I did not attempt to change the timeout since this is a much later version. I also noticed this issue in a few different location on the web. I am logging into the database as the sa and like I said, the data is making into the database; but the error still appears when validating the result of the query. Unlike the previous post, I will not provide a credentials, but I know it's not a connection error since the data is getting into the database. Here is my code: $tsql = "USE littleliam INSERT INTO [littleliam].[dbo].[tbl_blogPosts] ([postText] ,[created] ,[createdBy] ,[approved]) VALUES ('" .$postText ."', GETDATE(), " .$author .", " .$approvalStatus .")"; //Used to validate the query by running it in SQL Server Management studios echo $tsql; //Prepare and execute the statement. mssql_select_db('littleliam'); $insertReview = mssql_query($tsql, $msServerLink); if (!$res) { print("SQL statement failed with error:\n"); print(" ".mssql_get_last_message()."\n"); } else { print("One data row inserted.\n"); } mssql_close($msServerLink); My connection script is: $msServerLink = mssql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_pass); The only thing I could think of is selecting the database in the connect function. Can a database be selected in the mssql_connect function? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-13 10:48:25] sniper@php.net Temporarily closing. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-10 04:03:09] cdcr440 at hotmail dot com Thank you very much for that. Unfortunately, I can't check that this fixes the problem because it's gone today and I didn't manage to find a query that fails. As I said it's unpredictable and appears/disappears regularly. I've increased the timeout and I'll see if the problem comes back again. Sorry to have wasted your time, I think you can temporarily close this bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-09 17:19:58] fmk@php.net This sounds like a timeout porblem. You can use two php.ini settings to control the timeouts. mssql.connect_timeout = 5 mssql.timeout = 60 These are default values in seconds. try to increase the second timeout value. (I'll make sure thes values makes it into the distributed versions of php.ini). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-07-09 07:52:15] cdcr440 at hotmail dot com Thanks for looking into this. The access rights should be sufficient because I tried several users including the sa user and the problem occured for all. The database name doesn't include white spaces. mssql.min_message_severity = 10 in my php.ini as I had attached but still see the message you say I should only see with mssql.min_message_severity = 0, maybe that's related to the problem. Could it be the result of the MSSQL module getting confused? Even though "Changed database context to 'XXX'" isn't an error message, it appears when the query I try to run fails and the subsequent database selections fail with the same error. Here is the shortest example that produces the error, sorry for the biggish query, this one is one that I know generates an error. It connects with the sa user that can access everything without restrictions: <? $config["sqlserver"]="192.168.101.3"; $config["sqluser"]="sa"; $config["sqlpassword"]="x"; $config["sqldatabase"]="XXX"; $theQuery="select top 15 ni.* from NewsItem as ni, NewsItemStatus as nis, NewsStatus as ns where nis.NewsItemID=ni.ID and ns.ID=nis.NewsStatusID and lower(ns.Status) = lower('live') and (ni.ID in (select ni1.ID from NewsItem ni1 JOIN NewsItemNewsTagTable as nintt1 ON nintt1.NewsItemID=ni1.ID where ni1.[Date] >= '09-Jun-2003' and nintt1.[Date] >= '09-Jun-2003' and ni1.[Date] <= '09-Jul-2003' and nintt1.[Date] <= '09-Jul-2003' and ( (lower(cast (Text as varchar(8000))) like '%chuan%' )or (lower(cast (BassoeComment as varchar(8000))) like '%chuan%' )or (lower(cast (FirstParagraph as varchar(8000))) like '%chuan%' )or (lower(cast (Title as varchar(8000))) like '%chuan%' )or (lower(cast (nintt1.TagsCache as varchar(8000))) like '%chuan%' ))) and ni.ID in (select ni1.ID from NewsItem ni1 JOIN NewsItemNewsTagTable as nintt1 ON nintt1.NewsItemID=ni1.ID where ni1.[Date] >= '09-Jun-2003' and nintt1.[Date] >= '09-Jun-2003' and ni1.[Date] <= '09-Jul-2003' and nintt1.[Date] <= '09-Jul-2003' and ( (lower(cast (Text as varchar(8000))) like '%hup%' )or (lower(cast (BassoeComment as varchar(8000))) like '%hup%' )or (lower(cast (FirstParagraph as varchar(8000))) like '%hup%' )or (lower(cast (Title as varchar(8000))) like '%hup%' )or (lower(cast (nintt1.TagsCache as varchar(8000))) like '%hup%' )))) and ( ni.NewsTypeID=4 ) and ni.[Date] >= '09-Jun-2003' and ni.[Date] <= '09-Jul-2003' order by ni.[Date] desc, ni.[Timestamp] desc "; print("Connecting to DB server... "); $dbID = MSSQL_CONNECT($config["sqlserver"], $config["sqluser"], $config["sqlpassword"]); if (!$dbID) { print("Error connecting to DB server.<br>\n"); } else { print("done.<br>\n"); } print("Selecting database... "); if (!mssql_select_db($config["sqldatabase"], $dbID)) { print("Error selecting database.<br>\n"); } else { print("done.<br>\n"); } print("Running query... "); $theResults = mssql_query($theQuery, $dbID); if (!$theResults) { print("Unable to run query:\n"); print(mssql_get_last_message()."<br>\n"); } else { print("done.<br>\n"); } ?> The output is as follows: Connecting to DB server... done. Selecting database... done. Running query... Unable to run query: Changed database context to 'XXX'. However, the query runs fine query analyzer with the same user (sa!), although slowly, so we can rule out a purely SQL problem. However, if the query is reduced a bit, it doesn't fail: select top 15 ni.* from NewsItem as ni, NewsItemStatus as nis, NewsStatus as ns where nis.NewsItemID=ni.ID and ns.ID=nis.NewsStatusID and lower(ns.Status) = lower('live') and (ni.ID in (select ni1.ID from NewsItem ni1 JOIN NewsItemNewsTagTable as nintt1 ON nintt1.NewsItemID=ni1.ID where ni1.[Date] >= '09-Jun-2003' and nintt1.[Date] >= '09-Jun-2003' and ni1.[Date] <= '09-Jul-2003' and nintt1.[Date] <= '09-Jul-2003' and ( (lower(cast (Text as varchar(8000))) like '%chuan%' )or (lower(cast (BassoeComment as varchar(8000))) like '%chuan%' )or (lower(cast (FirstParagraph as varchar(8000))) like '%chuan%' )or (lower(cast (Title as varchar(8000))) like '%chuan%' )or (lower(cast (nintt1.TagsCache as varchar(8000))) like '%chuan%' )))) and ( ni.NewsTypeID=4 ) and ni.[Date] >= '09-Jun-2003' and ni.[Date] <= '09-Jul-2003' order by ni.[Date] desc, ni.[Timestamp] desc So although it looks like a query problem, I remind you that both queries run fine through both query analyzer and the enterprise manager. Could it be a kind of time out problem since the second query (that succeeds) runs faster? I don't see timeout settings in the MSSQL configuration in php.ini. The script itself doesn't timeout and continues executing after the error. The log I attached the other day was also showing that subsequent attempts to select the database to run another query would fail. Does this help? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
