Hi. I receive the following message --> Warning: mssql_connect(): Unable to connect to server: servername the php code to connect to the sql server is: (!$db=mssql_connect("servername","user","password") --------------------------------------------------------------- i already tried the following sintax, but did not work: mssql_connect("SERVER\INSTANCE","UID","PWD"); ou mssql_connect("SERVER\\INSTANCE","UID","PWD"); ou mssql_connect("SERVER:PORT","UID","PWD"); ou mssql_connect("SERVER,PORT","UID","PWD"); ou mssql_connect("SERVER","UID","PWD"); --------------------------------------------------------------- so i tried the following sintax: i created an OBDC before and the connection with sql server worked. <? $dsn="odbc name"; $username="username"; $password="password"; $sqlconnect=odbc_connect($dsn,$username,$password) or die ( 'Can not connect to server' ) ?> i want to understand why the first method did not work, please some help!
