note 68115 added to function.mssql-connect

Further to the following posts on Windows 2003 + PHP5 + SQL Server Express. http://php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php#58787 http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php#61971 I ran into another problem when I updated the version of ntwdblib.dll. I picked up version 2000.80.2039.0 from an SQL Server 2000 installation. However, when I replaced the PHP 5 provided version with this one and restarted IIS, phpinfo() showed that the mssql extension wasn't loading anymore. I couldn't see any errors reported in browser nor the system error logs. By chance I decided to run 'php -i' on the command line. This was lucky because running it this way a system error dialog popped up a warning about a missing DLL dependency. The problem was that the new ntwdblib.dll had a dependency on MSVCR71.DLL which couldn't be found in IIS' path. I did a search for msvcr*.dll in C:\\WINDOWS and found a copy of this DLL in C:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v1.1.4322\\. I copied it into my PHP install dir and restarted IIS. Then when I ran phpinfo() the extension showed up again. ---- Server IP: 83.138.144.80 Probable Submitter: 217.150.115.62 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mssql-connect.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68115 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68115/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68115/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68115/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68115/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68115/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68115/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68115 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68115 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
