#23325 [Opn->Fbk]: PHP can't connect if db name has dashes

ID: 23325 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: fritz at lateral dot net -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: MSSQL related Operating System: Win 2000 PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: my my my... what a nice attitude we have again. From the "How to report a bug" page: * Provide code that demonstrates the problem, it should almost never be more than ten lines long. Anything longer probably contains a lot of code that has nothing to do with the problem, which just makes it take longer to figure out the real problem. (But don't forget to make sure that your code still demonstrates the bug you're reporting and doesn't have some other problem because you've accidently trimmed out something you thought wasn't important but was!) The URL for this is: http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Don't forget we're volunteers and are not particulary fond of people who start shouting and demand a fix while they are not willing to produce a useful bugreport.

It's very simple - the category is MSSQL related. The OS is Win 2000. If the name of the (MSSQL) database contains dashes, a PHP page running under Apache cannot connect to it. If I try connecting to it from an ASP, page running under IIS, I can connect allright. If I rename the database and remove the dashes I can connect from either PHP/Apache or IIS/ASP. What other information do you need? My star sign is aquarius. I was wearing grey socks when the error occured.... ?!!? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-25 12:23:04] sniper@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.

Thank you for your interest in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-24 06:20:02] fritz at lateral dot net If the name of the database has a dash in it, e.g. php-bugs-list, php running under apache is not able to connect - I can connect using ASP in IIS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23325&edit=1
