Re: What PHP4 use for connection to MSSQL?

ODBC and ADO uses the same type of connection. In fact you need an ODBC DSN to connect to a database using ADO. The MSSQL functions in PHP uses a native communication with the database. This communications is faster than using ODBC but it is not as easy moving to other databases as it would be using ODBC, RDO or ADO (or whatever Microsoft is adding on top of ODBC) - Frank > For some examples of connecting PHP to ODBC, visit > http://php.weblogs.com/odbc > > As to speed, definitely MSSQL using PHP is very fast.
