Re: specifying different port for db connections

Which database are you using? MSSQL is what you said in your first email... Here is the information from php: Description int mssql_connect ( [string servername [, string username [, string password]]]) Returns: A positive MS SQL link identifier on success, or FALSE on error. mssql_connect() establishes a connection to a MS SQL server. The servername argument has to be a valid servername that is defined in the 'interfaces' file. <-- this is what i am referring too In case a second call is made to mssql_connect() with the same arguments, no new link will be established, but instead, the link identifier of the already opened link will be returned.
