Note Submitter: guilherme_cruz at uol dot com dot br ---- >> Problems With Multiple Instances << If you are having problems to connect PHP 4.x to MSSQL 2000 on Win2K, there is a simple way to solve it: Open the Client Network Utility and do the following: 1. Add a new Alias choosing Named Pipes 2. Type in the ‘Alias’ field (anything you want): CONN1 3. Erase ‘Server field’ and type exactly: SERVER_NAME\INSTANCE_NAME The field ‘Pipe Name’ should be: \\SERVER_NAME\pipe\MSSQL$INSTANCE_NAME\sql\query Now, in PHP, use: mssql_connect('CONN1', 'username', 'password'); or mssql_pconnect('CONN1', 'username', 'password'); Regards Guilherme Cruz
