Try creating a database called php-bugs-list and one
called php_bugs_list.
mssql_connect('localhost','username','pwd') or die
'mssql_connect error';
mssql_select_db('php-bugs-list') or die
'mssql_select_db error';
mssql_connect('localhost','username','pwd') or die
'mssql_connect error';
mssql_select_db('php_bugs_list') or die
'mssql_select_db error';
I am not 'demanding' a fix - I have learnt that I will
avoid errors by having no dashes in the database name.
My problem is solved.
I tried to share this with other php users, If you want
to use this information to improve php you are welcome
to it - but please don't waste my time by being anal
about how the bug is reported.
And that's the end of it, AFAIAC.

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.

What do you mean, 'Not enough information was
provided'???
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.... ?!!?

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.
