Some servers have display_errors disabled in their php.ini files and it only logs errors. If you add: error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', true); to the top of your test script, does it show any errors now? mssql is not a standard module, you'll need to get your host/server admin to install it. There are detailed instructions on the php site: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mssql.setup.php If you get stuck, at which step do you get stuck? -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
