Re: What's wrong????

Hi John, Thanks for your prompt reply. I am using PHP 4.2.0 version. I checked the PHP.ini file where it is given the following: ;Windows Extensions ;Note that MySQL and ODBC support is now built in, so no dll is needed for it. ; ;extension=php_bz2.dll ................................... ................................... ;extension=php_mssql.dll which, I guess, is already uncommented. What do I do now to execute some transaction with SQL Server 7.0? Also what do I search for in phpinfo()?
