[mssql_connect error] Changed database context to..

Did anyone else run into this problem? PHP fails to connect to MSSQL7 with mssql_connect with the message: Changed database context to '<DB_NAME>'. I've been searching around but did not find a good solution for PHP. I did find this link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;197459 But is not too helpful.. I've tried: setting the severity value higher with mssql_min_error_severity(4); mssql_min_message_severity(4); but these did not work either.. Any ideas? Thank you!!! LK
